Homelessness, as it relates to school, can be viewed from many dimensions. Homeless children sometimes look forward to the regular and nutritious food prepared in school programs. The connection between adequate nutrition and success in academic endeavors has long been documented. Among the adult homeless, there is not as much excitement about schooling. However, the options are still open to further one’s education, no matter where one has left off. What is lacking is the hope that the effort will pay off. Also lacking in many cases is the discipline needed to complete an education. The key question is, Will it translate into a change in job prospects?
