What are some of the relationships between educational attainment and other life factors that might help to explain lower levels of educational attainment?

Answers will vary but should discuss the role of family structure, peer culture in high school, segregation in schools, language barriers for Hispanics, the black-white achievement gap, and the immigrant paradox as possible topics. It should discuss how lower educational outcomes affect income over one's life and how this can affect all kinds of other outcomes in terms of equality.
