(Gates, 2002)
I think experience is the key to learning. I believe that parents, educators, and family members should make every effort to bring new experiences and challenges into children’s lives. Children who have not been exposed to reading or writing are not even going to be aware that they are incapable of doing so. It is the parent’s responsibility to inform their children on education and make it an important part of their life. I do however not believe that just because a child comes from a lower class home that they are doomed for life. Once they have become old enough to understand the surroundings they come from I do believe they have the choice to better themselves regardless. I have a few friends who have come from lower class homes they have pushed themselves and graduated from college on their own. People who come from lower class families can use that as a motivational factor to push themselves to become better.
