This week I am chatting with my brother Steve about "The Privileged Poor" by Anthony Jack (https://bookshop.org/a/7227/978067424824/).

Page Love is a weekly book review podcast to help your reading list grow. This week's book reveals the gap disadvantaged students struggle with when attending elite colleges, and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive. Anthony Jack’s work sheds light on the need for world class educational institutions to go beyond just accepting students who excel academically but come from a lower income background, and really understand the needs and differences of the students to help them be successful.
