DeParle Two Classes Divided

The reading from Two Classes Divided doesn't really surprise me about the opportunity difference between uneducated single moms versus educated married moms. I think that this reading relates to the book because Jeannettes parents weren't exactly stable enough to provide the right type of environment that allows them to receive extra curricular opportunities. Also at times the Walls kids did only suffer from their father not being around but their mother wasn't emotionally there as well. The kids were basically forced to learn to be independent from their parents at a very young age. Maybe it was because Rex and Rosemary were together the children were able to make it to college rather than dropping out and having children without an education.
