Robert D. Putnam
“The achievement gap between children from high income and low income families is roughly 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than among those born 25 years ago. The class gap among students entering kindergarten was two to three times higher than the racial gap.”
Robert D. Putnam

“For you to be right, must I be wronged?”
Vineet Raj Kapoor
