1. Hart notes that growing up poor--often without stable housing--impacts learning, language acquisition, and parenting styles. What affect does Hart"s environment (his family, his neighborhood, and his peer groups) have upon his success in school? How does Hart"s situation reflect what research shows about the connections between poverty and educational success? How does his story challenge the research? Be sure to locate 3 credible sources.
