Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Why are white,
working class children in Britain falling behind?
It’s not
surprising that students of lower income families do poorly at school compared
to the ones of upper income families. This kind of social problem appear more
common among the minority group in African Americans in the U.S. or uneducated immigrants
in European countries. However, children of the white working class in the U.K.
are found to be underperforming compared to the students of other racial
backgrounds of the same income level.
There seem to be
several factors behind this social phenomenon such as school, income,
neighborhood, tradition, social class and parents, and they seem relevant to
each other.
Enjoy reading and
learning about Britain’s deep and historical social problem still lasting since
the Industrial Revolution.
