22 per cent of Canadian single mothers were poor in 2009 by the LICO-AT standard (Statistics Canada, 2011a). However the international LIM-AT standard is thought to be more accurate for calculating the number of unprivileged. Rather than estimating a pattern for spending on food, shelter and clothing for a family, the contemporary costs of these items are calculated and then compared with the family's income after adjustment, at half of the population median (Statistics Canada, 2015). By the LIM-AT standard, places lone parent families headed by a woman at 44.5 percent in 2012 (Statistics Canada, 2014)

In 1902, sociologist Charles Cooley argued that our understanding of ourselves was based on how others perceive us, which he referred to as “Looking Glass Self”
Cooley's symbolic interactionist theory, may have been an influence for psychologist Sandra Bem when developing gender schema theory in 1981.

Part of this identity is how they perform as a student. This identity might be self perception based on in-class experience, despite having high grades, teachers giving some students more attention than others reflecting whom they see as competent.
An active study by preservice teacher, Brittany Anderson at Florida State University with 9th grade students, looks at her role of gender bias in the classroom. What was found is that while Anderson thought she was gender neutral, she found that in science, more attention was given to the boys in verbal (speaking) and non verbal form (smiling) and used more leading questions with girls but not boys. (Anderson, n.d.). The use of leading questions is interesting, by not asking the students a question directly, it demonstrates to the student that the teacher does not think they are not yet competent in that
