 Horrible December 30, 2008

A very bigoted book that blames the poor for not following the rules she has decided are essential.

I borrowed Payne's Framework for Understanding Poverty from our local library. I don't know that she's THE leading US expert on mindsets of poverty, middle class and wealth. Sort of pretentious. She separated out behaviors, values, characteristics of the three socio-economic classes. I was appalled at what she claimed to be economic factors - all so often they are matters of diagnosis of LD that is most commonly exposed in poverty and least often exposed among the wealthy. I liked the holistic approach - that many factors affect folks beyond just money! This book is poorly researched, most of the time interestingly presented book. For parents and teachers, not a bad read some of the time - but, don't believe all that you read in this book. For employers, policymakers and service providers, skip it. It's not a bad read from the public library. I wouldn't buy the $22 4th edition over the $2 used 3rd edition.
I never recieved this and the seller never responded to my email October 12, 2008

I never recieved this book and the seller never responded to my email inquiry. I was never charged for it. But I really wanted the book.
 Ruby Payne is amazing! August 8, 2008
This book is a quick, easy read and should be a requirement for all! You will gain an appreciation for all economic/social classes and learn more about yourself. As a teacher, this book brought clarity to situations in the past and will guide my behavior in the future. I believe that every lawmaker and politician should read this book before making decisions about helping the poor. An amazing book and a must read!

This seller never shipped the book and never returned my emails as to why. I ordered it for a course I had to teach on poverty and did not receive my book on time for the class. This seller should not be allowed to sell on the site.
