Ruby Payne: Vocabulary, Tools + Poverty

“Vocabulary words are the building blocks of the internal learning structure. Vocabulary is also the tool to better define a problem, seek more accurate solutions, etc.”

“To move from poverty to middle class or middle class to wealth, an individual must give up relationships for achievement (at least for some period of time). The issue is time; there is not enough time to have both.”
― Ruby K. Payne, A Framework for Understanding Poverty
