Discuss the likely reasons for poor school achievement among low-income children in the United States.
What will be an ideal response?
Possible causes for poor school achievement: Parents who are stressed out and have to work too hard; lack of access to computers, books, and other learning experiences; going to low-quality preschools (or no preschools); being more likely to have immigrant parents who don't know the language or know it imperfectly and cannot help children with their homework; and, possibly, genetic differences too (sorry)!
