Impacting quality of life for children (fatasses, depressed) Cultural capital (educational qualifications, fine/elite culture, cultural and linguistic strengths) Middle class kids more likely to receive these forms of capital. Even middle class who can"t afford to send kids to private school, still do because they want their kids to go to school with the wealthiest people (they want their kids to have social capital) If you have social capital and cultural capital you will do better economically. If you are born to poo parents you are more likely to be poor, if you are born to middle class you are more likely to be born to middle class ect.
