I DON’T think it’s a good piece. Of course there’s a problem with wealthy children and poor children. Writing about anecdotes doesn’t help us SOLVE or ALLEVIATE the problem. You’re a teacher, tell us how we can help. Tell us what ills cause this. Tell us what you think we can do as a society to help the children in single-parent households in the poorer areas get a better education; not just inner-city (i.e. ethnic) but suburbs, rural areas (i.e. white), etc. Teach us about how we can help the over-extended wealthy children get self esteem without going to Yale and help their parents value kindness and integrity.
