    "Students from lower-income households may not have the financial resources that give students from higher-income households an advantage when it comes to performing well in school, scoring high on standardized tests, and aspiring to and succeeding in college. Poor nutrition, health problems resulting from a lack of healthcare, or an inability to pay for preschool education, tutoring, test-preparation services, and/or college tuition (in addition to a fear of taking on student-loan debt) may all contribute to lower educational achievement and attainment."

    This article talks about the factors which that cause the rise of opportunity gaps such as students from lower-income households not having the financial resources like those from higher-income households needed to perform well in school. It also describes how minority students are subjected to bias, denying them equal access to learning opportunities (ex: colored students disproportionately represent that their academic achievements are typically lower than those of their white peers). Families with lower income also tend to have students which live in economically disadvantaged schools and have parents who lack familial encouragement on their education.

    ""The children at the top are those most advantaged by their parents' wealth, having begun their academic development at very early ages. They board an elevator that speeds them to academic success" Carter says." In this article it shows how upper class people have an advantage in the long run.
