I doubt it. I think that steers into the education gap, though not necessarily. Lower income moms who work multiple jobs/have no time/no books in the house vs. college educated women with one good job and lots of books in the house...obviously, there's a whole spectrum in there. There are lots of houses without books.deck Whitman said:amraeder said:deck Whitman said:Bob Cook said:The children of educated parents also probably come from families with the money to afford all sorts of early educational development, from parents-and-tots classes to, heck, taking outings to the zoo.
Yeah, but talking to your kids is free.
It's not without an opportunity cost. A single-parent who has to work long hours to support their kid is going to have less time to talk to the kid than the family with a stay-at-home parent.
I wonder if there's a vocabulary gap between children with working moms and children with stay-at-home moms. Is having a working mom the same disadvantage as having a single mom? Should it matter? The children are presumably still with an adult all day.
