| Summary |
Children living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. Fulgham explores what Christians can do to champion urgently needed reform and help improve our public schools. |
