Topic Reading-Vol.822-7/12/2014

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.
