About homeless children: individual hardship, enormity of the problem, ability of some to overcome it all"If we don't stand up for the children, then we don't stand for much." -Marian Wright Edelman
 * Single and homeless fathers have far fewer resources available to them for help
 * Because they may be moving from home to home often, they may easily lose belongings such as textbooks and notebooks
 * School systems often have homeless liaisons to help children, sometimes these are the only people the children have to look out for them, often the liaison has many children to look out for
 * Students have trouble focusing because they constantly have other things on their minds, such as where they will sleep, what they will eat, where their parents/ other family members are
 * Only 3% of districts in the USA receive federal money for homeless, from the McKinney-Vento foundation
