During a family picnic, somehow the topic shifted to what you are learning in college and the study of child and adolescent development. In discussing the contexts of development, one of your cousins makes the point that the issue of socioeconomic status in the United States is over rated. Your cousin argues that educators and researchers have exaggerated the impact of poverty on children and schooling. How might you respond to your cousin's point of view based on what you have learned in Woolfolk and Perry's book on Child and Adolescent Development?
