3 quotes from Unequal Childhoods

  • The way that parents approach their child's upbringing is a reflection of their own social class, and this shapes children's life chances in profound ways.
  • Children from different social backgrounds experience vastly different levels of support and engagement, which creates unequal opportunities for success in both education and life.
  • Interaction styles with authority figures, fostered in childhood, can impact not only educational outcomes but also how individuals navigate the world as adults.
