The document discusses 4 articles about poverty, class, and wealth in education. Article 1 discusses how lower-income parents are often viewed as uninvolved in their child's education but that view fails to recognize different forms of involvement. Article 2 examines the limitations of schools in alleviating inequality given factors like poverty. Article 3 presents a study finding differences in curriculum and classroom experiences based on student socioeconomic class. Article 4 argues that misunderstandings between classes can be addressed by explicitly teaching students about hidden rules of different classes.
