Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mike's housing instability puts him at risk for dropping out of school. Housing instability can cause disruptions in a child's education, including frequent school changes, difficulty focusing in class, and increased absences. As a result, children experiencing housing instability are more likely to struggle academically and ultimately drop out of school. Cohabitating, becoming a boomerang child, and intimate terrorism are not directly related to housing instability in this scenario.
