Abstract

Girls are much better than boys at working together to solve problems, according to an international assessment of collaborative problem solving. More than 4% of adolescents and 10% of young adults nationwide were living on the street, in cars, shelters, or couch-surfing at some point in the last year. Most high schools have assisted a victim of teen dating violence in the past two years, although most schools still do not have a protocol for how to respond to a report of such an encounter. Supports are available for talking with your community about the value of early learning. Poor parents are dramatically less likely to have attended a school or class event than nonpoor parents and far less likely to have volunteered at their child’s school, but they are just as likely as nonpoor parents to attend parent-teacher conferences.
