But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,marking money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. 织梦好，好织梦
On the home front, however, people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home. 本文来自织梦
So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.

For years，studies have found that fiest-generation college students – those who do not have a parent with a college – lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recuit more of them.. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and whden, rather than close” an achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning ofa paper forthcoming in the joutnal Psychological Science. 织梦好，好织梦
But the article is actually quite optimisitic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.

The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their finding are based on a study invoving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with at least one parent with a four-year degree.

Their thesis – that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact – was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievenebt gap. 织梦好，好织梦
Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ abd take advantage of college resources,” they write.And this becomes more of a problem when college don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of diffierent groups of students. “Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect about why they are struggling and do not understand how students ‘like them’ can improve.
