Adriane Burnett reads to her son Karter Robinson on Saturday, April 14, 2024 in Birmingham, Ala. Women's participation in the American workforce has reached a high point, but challenges around child care are holding back many working class parents. When women without college degrees face an interruption in child care arrangements – whether it's at a relative's home, a preschool or a daycare center – they are more likely to have to take unpaid time or to be forced to leave their jobs altogether, according to an Associated Press analysis.

Hillary Amofa listens to others member of the Lincoln Park High School step team after school, March 8, 2024, in Chicago. When she started writing her college essay, Amofa told the story she thought admissions offices wanted to hear. She wrote about being the daughter of immigrants from Ghana, about growing up in a small apartment in Chicago. She described hardship and struggle. Then she deleted it all. “I would just find myself kind of trauma-dumping,” said the 18 year-old senior, “And I'm just like, this doesn't really say anything about me as a person.” AP PHOTO / CHARLES REX ARBOGAST

A third-grade student reads to the rest of her class at Beecher Hills Elementary School in Atlanta, AUg. 19, 2022. Mounting evidence shows that students who spent most of the 2020-2021 school year learning remotely, many of them Black and Latino, lost about half an academic year of learning. That’s twice as much as their peers who studied in person that year. Third-graders are at a particularly delicate moment — students who don’t read fluently by the end of third grade are more likely to struggle in the future, and even drop out, studies show.
