The Schunk reading posits that “some of the key influences on development and learning are socioeconomic status, home environment, parental involvement, and electronic media” (p. 465). Certainly, each of these considerations plays a role in student learning. Which one do you consider to be of primary importance for teachers?
In your initial response to the post, examine one of these key influences. How do you characterize this influence in the classroom? Include why you feel this consideration is primary for teachers. Draw from personal experiences (either from the point of view of a teacher or from the viewpoint of a student) to justify your case.
