From my own experience, as the two city's per capita income is different, their crime rates on the neighborhood would also be influenced. This is an interesting social difference I found when looking at the income and race ratio of a city.

students reveal to me that they grewup poor, and often they tell me that they are the first person from their family togo to college. They talk about the social distance they feel from their peers whohave money. They tell me they often hang out with other poor students to avoidbeing reminded of what they simply don't have. Many low-income students donot own cars. They are less likely to dine at off-campus restaurants or to havean entire wardrobe of brand-name clothes. They do not go to vacation resortson spring break. They get tired of being reminded of these differences when theyare with wealthier students.
When the low-income students are trying to avoid those social activities due to their constrain in budget, they lose the opportunity to social and get closer with the students who has the ability to go to these events. The boundary will be set from here and making their surroundings being different.

Permission is needed if Harold or his sister wants something to eat,because food is always in short supply: "One Friday night, for instance,the two pizzas in the oven must be divided among [six family members].When Harold asks for a second piece of pizza, he is redirected to drinksoda.
I am feeling bad when reading this, where a kid cannot have enough food while he needs it, and has to have drinks as the alternative for extra food that is provided by the family. But in a family that has limited income for food supply, it seems to be the only solution that the family can offer to their children.

Moreover, the reading gapwas even larger when the same children were tested in fifth grade. Gaps inmathematics achievement are also substantial.
From my understanding, besides school, your family is where you can learn the most outside of school. For example, Anthony's family has a comparative lower level of education, which makes him harder to earn reading abilities and understandings from his family outside of school. The gap would grow in a significant rate during this age.

1hroughouc theirtime at BHS, students make choices-about which classe. andLc~1chersto rake, which clubs to join, and with whom to socialize-that influence this complicated dynamic.
Because the resource that students can receive is varied at BHS, it can greatly impact what the students would choose for their extracurriculars to be.

In contrast, poor student<; from flatland neighborhoodsoften use the process to ci}.ooseteachers who arc known for beingless demanding-teachers who show videos every day and arc easygraders
The "self-scheduling" system is creating a boundary between the poor students and others. As they don't have much understanding about the education system, including the procedures they might need to take if they would like to enroll in college. This is not only a boundary that is set under the school and trying to test about the student's personal ability, also a boundary that separates the information that can be received by the students.

Both of these beliefa were based on erroneousinformation. That she reached the point of enrolling in prealgebrawithout having these notions corrected is a reflection of the limita-tions of the school counseling process
I this this can be an example of the student missing enough counseling help with class selection and the missing guidance information the school can provide. In another words, if Chantelle can have more information about the difficulty of math, and differences of courses, she might not step herself into the wrong level of math class.

while studentslike Chantelle who come from poor families have access to fewerresources from home and are more dependent on the school.
school resource is strongly related to the student's decision as they don't receive many resources from their family. For example, a school with more resources that provides the students to learn subjects outside of school would make a wider path for the students to choose their future path than those without the resource.
