Dear Liu,

Live Chat
Economic Opportunity in America: The Changing Role of Education

When: Friday, December 15, 12 p.m., Eastern time
Where: http://enews.edweek.org/GoNow/a15864a157970a407340388a3 

Please join us for this live chat to talk about the role of education
in increasing economic opportunity in the United States. 

Going from rags to riches in this country, some studies conducted over
the past 10 to 15 years say, may be harder than it used to be. In fact,
newer international studies suggest that children born into poor
families in the United States have a smaller chance of rising out of
poverty than their counterparts in many other industrialized nations. 
Given those bleak assessments, some analysts say that
education--perhaps now more than ever--is critical to breaking or
perpetuating that intergenerational cycle. 

Guests:

Cecilia Elena Rouse, professor of economics and public affairs,
Princeton University; and 
Isabel V. Sawhill, co-director, Center on Children and Families at the
Brookings Institution.
