I found this article while reading up on schools with children in poverty. I think it relates to the Anyon reading since the author goes in depth about these children and the various reasons they have been academically held back. She doesn't include much about how these children compare with children from wealthier families but I do like how she has different sections on how we can help these students. What I really disagreed with was the statement she makes about these kids not having a proper interaction skills and not being able to communicate in social groups. I personally don't believe this is a common thing with underprivileged children. Many wealthier families shelter their children which causes those kids to have less interaction with people, especially their peers. Otherwise, I did enjoy this article and I thought she gave good points that related to the Anyon reading.
