Reflecting on the feelings of the situation in the Poverty Simulation @swplains @USD443

Reflection discussions after the @swplains Poverty Simulation @USD443.



Evaluation of the end of the month. More overheard: "We rented a room to people that got evicted for more money.", "All our appliances were stolen, no one helped!", "The bank hours aren't long enough.", To be honest, I didn't know where my kid was for a week.". @swplains @USD443


"Now we're homeless!" @swplains @USD443 Poverty Simulation


Overhead at the Poverty Simulation: "You spent all the money?!", "He left the baby home alone!", "I don't want to take care of it!", "My bills are all paid!", "Our battery is dead!", "Don't forget to pick the kids up from school!" @swplains @USD443


Weekend and plan the next week @swplains @USD443
