very interesting topic about which many in this country, of any class haven't much knowledge or experience. lays out some realities which those who are in or have come from poverty, may be more aware than others-- who aren't perhaps often wanting to do this!-- of the difficulties inherent for individuals who class-line cross. The article points out the difficulties some people of the 'academic' class have with Ruby Payne's approach, as well as the success she has with other audiences. It is an important subject even for better understanding of current so-called 'red' and 'blue' divisions.
