The paper addresses the issues relating to the education and socialization of children living in the culture of poverty, i.e. the situation when the privation affecting the family is not merely a convergence of many incidents, but it becomes a long-lasting experience which results in generational encumbrance. The consequences of such a situation are noticeable in many spheres of children’s and adolescents’ lives, particularly at home, school and among peers. The main purpose of the paper is to indicate educational problems of children living in poverty and describe the areas which impede socialization and educational interventions. The paper highlights the value of education as a real chance to break the cycle of generational poverty stemming from the culture of privation. It also presents school as an institution which reinforces inequalities, and family – as an institution which socializes to poverty. The article contains indications on social work with children from poor families. The paper contains research analyses performed based on such sources as “Memoirs of the Unemployed,” published in Poland in 2003–2006 (5 volumes) and in 1933. The analyses undertaken in the paper are referred to the concept of the culture of poverty proposed by Oscar Lewis.
