“The speaker describes taking a long bus ride to school. Imagine another student who lives close enough to walk to a school with fewer resources. How might these two journeys to school be different, and how might poverty play a role in those differences? Think about a student who has to work before or after school to help their family financially. How might their journey to and from school be different from a student who doesn't have those responsibilities? How does poverty affect these different journeys?”
