Children are more successful in school when they are able to pay at-tention, when they get along with peers and teachers, and when they are not preoccupied or depressed because of troubles at home. Using the same SAT-type metric as for reading scores, figure 3.1 shows that, according to teachers, children from more affluent families are more engaged than their low-income peers.
I think kids do better in school when they can focus, get along with others, and aren’t weighed down by problems at home. For children from low-income families, outside factors can make it really hard to thrive. Things like family stress, lack of access to healthcare, or emotional struggles can slow down their physical and mental development. When kids are distracted by issues like financial strain or tension at home, it affects not only their academic performance but also their overall well-being.
