Summary: disappointing 80% and fantastic 20%
Comment: I borrowed Payne's Framework for Understanding Poverty from our local library. I don't know that she's THE leading US expert on mindsets of poverty, middle class and wealth. Sort of pretentious. She separated out behaviors, values, characteristics of the three socio-economic classes. I was appalled at what she claimed to be economic factors - all so often they are matters of diagnosis of LD that is most commonly exposed in poverty and least often exposed among the wealthy. I liked the holistic approach - that many factors affect folks beyond just money! This book is poorly researched, most of the time interestingly presented book. For parents and teachers, not a bad read some of the time - but, don't believe all that you read in this book. For employers, policymakers and service providers, skip it. It's not a bad read from the public library. I wouldn't buy the $22 4th edition over the $2 used 3rd edition.

Summary: Ruby Payne is amazing!
Comment: This book is a quick, easy read and should be a requirement for all! You will gain an appreciation for all economic/social classes and learn more about yourself. As a teacher, this book brought clarity to situations in the past and will guide my behavior in the future. I believe that every lawmaker and politician should read this book before making decisions about helping the poor. An amazing book and a must read!
Customer Rating:

A Framework for Understanding Poverty was Dr. Ruby Payne's first book, written for teachers with adaptations for work and community members. Its purpose is to educate people about the differences that separate economic classes and then teaching them strategies to bridge those gulfs. Ruby discusses at length the social cues or "hidden rules" that govern how we think and interact in society – and the significance of those rules in a classroom. Other topics include why students from generational poverty often fear being educated, discipline interventions that improve behavior, and the eight resources that make a difference to success. More than 180,000 copies sold!
