This topic can have a devasting affect on education.  If a child is in a home where meth is used, they will be more concerned with how their home life is, if they're going to be beat or abused in some other way, or if they're care givers are going to be okay.  Therefore, they are not going to be focused on school work.

Also, if a child is living in a meth users home, they take the risk of digesting the drug themselves, which can affect their school work.  According to the video, a child's memory can be affected with being exposed to meth.  Also, a child can have problems with normal developing of a child's gross and fine motor skills.  This can affect all sorts of a child's education, even down to holding a pencil.
