I think that students in urban schools have a more difficult time in the area of literacy. I think this is connected to the situation that many students in the urban schools find themselves in, and that is in low income households. It would also seem that students who are in low income households are in households in which parents more than likely have not gone to college. Parents in these homes may not necessarily see education as a huge priority because they may not have made it a priority in their own lives, or they may have not had the opportunity to go on in school and are therefore already discouraged into believing that it is not accessible to them or their children. How do we combat this cycle?
