Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 12 page paper discussing gaps in educational achievement in Britain from a sociological perspective. Researchers appear to be identifying concepts that should be important in arriving at resolution, even though it appears that they have not yet found workable solutions that fit all situations. It has been known for years that more highly educated parents typically are more involved in their children’s education and encourage them to achieve. The stereotype of Asian commitment to education appears to be supported by achievement rates in Asian populations. Researching these groups to learn their “secrets” that could be applied to other groups appears to be a reasonable approach to bridging social, gender and ethnicity gaps in educational achievement. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

during World War II required everyones cooperation and contribution. Those hardships eased in the late 1940s, however. Medical advances also had greatly
reduced infant mortality by the midpoint of the last century. Parents did not always set out to have large families, but the likelihood that any infant had of reaching
adulthood was much smaller in the early days of the century than it was by the middle of the century. A recent study has determined that regardless of family
size, parents generally have managed only to replace themselves with their offspring. On a timeline that includes all of human history, it has been only relatively recently that humans
have not had to have several children to ensure the survival of only two or three. In earlier days, "death rates among infants and children were so high that
population growth was episodic and localized rather than consistent and global" (Infant death for millennia, 2002; p. 796). As life itself came to
