1. Granfield's research describes the experiences of working-class students in an elite law school. What connections do you see between Lareau’s findings in Unequal Childhoods and Granfield’s findings in this study? What role does cultural capital and/or habitus play in the law students’ experience in law school and on the job market? (Please use at least one of these two terms in your answer.) Optional: how do his findings resonate with your own experience?

2. When and where have you encountered the model minority stereotype? Based on the reading and your experience, what effects does that stereotype have with respect to schooling? Why is it a “myth,” according to the author?
