Environment of Poverty
Putnam talks about resource gaps between wealthy and poor children. Some resource gaps he mentions are time spent with parents, money invested in extracurriculars, quality of schools, stability of families, and community support. Choose one of these resource gaps and find evidence supporting or contradicting Putnam’s claim. Your evidence may be antidotal stories or statistical evidence.
Comment on two other classmate’s postings by critiquing their evidence, pointing out additional evidence that would be helpful, and/or indicating how this difference in resources may impact future economic opportunities.
