親の収入や学歴が子供の教育水準に影響するというのはよく知られた話だが、家にある本の量の方が予測力が高いそうだ:
Book owners have smarter kids – Laura Miller – Salon.com
growing up in a household with 500 or more books is “as great an advantage as having university-educated rather than unschooled parents, and twice the advantage of having a professional rather than an unskilled father.
子供の教育年数に対して、500冊以上の本がある家で育つことは、親が大学教育を受けていることや、専門職で働いていることと同じレベルの効果をもたらしているそうだ。
simply giving low-income children 12 books (of their own choosing) on the first day of summer vacation “may be as effective as summer school” in preventing “summer slide”
夏休みに12冊の本を渡すだけで、低所得の家庭の子供が遅れを取るのも防げるそうだ。これは夏休み学校に行かない期間が長く続くことによって家庭環境の差が子供の成績や生活に強い影響を与えるという問題を解決しうる。
しかし、本を買うのが非常に困難というほど低所得の家庭は少ないし、図書館では無料で本が借りられる。これだけの効果があるならどうして本へアクセスできない子供が多いのか。
Most likely, books and reading feel like the privilege and practice of an unfamiliar world: a resource that’s out there somewhere, but not entirely accessible.
その答えの一つは、本を買って読むという行為が異質なものとして捉えられていることにある。要するに本屋や図書館に行くのに気後れするということだろう。
As homey as a bookstore or local library branch might feel to you or me, they can make other people feel insecure, out-of-place and clueless.
