Didn't I answer this first question before?
1. Lower because children's socioeconomic status is typically based on the parent's status. From her ignorance of the facts stated above, I would wonder if her mother could afford a TV set.
2. All factors being equal, she would be more likely to drop out. However, it would depend on various factors. Is she socially accepted by her peers in school? Do they make fun of her ignorance? Will the teachers encourage her questions? Does her mother encourage her in her education? What is her intelligence level? (it sounds at least average.) Etceteras.
3. There is a tendency for teachers to call on girls less and ask them lower-level questions, but this is becoming less likely.

Carrie is a fifth grader at Gorrie Elementary school—a school near an affluent neighborhood in a suburb of a major city. Carrie, who lives with her divorced mother—a high school dropout with a steady job as a minimum wage housekeeper—seems to have limited background experiences. In a discussion of the “Old West,” for example, she asked what a saddle horn was, when Mrs. Williams talked about the saddles cowboys used. Also, she had never heard of a wild turkey, thinking only of the turkeys people eat on Thanksgiving. However, Carrie “picks up” new ideas in class more quickly than most of her classmates, and she periodically asks questions atypical of fifth graders, such as, “Wouldn't our country be better off if some of the money the Congress spends fighting with each other went to educating poor people instead?”
How does Carrie's socioeconomic status compare to that of her typical
peers? Explain.
2. If Carrie fits typical patterns for students with her background and
socioeconomic status, is the likelihood of her dropping out of school at
some point before graduation greater than, less than or similar to the
likelihood of her typical peers’ dropping out? Explain.
3. If Mrs. Williams’ questioning patterns are similar to those identified by
research, is Carrie more, less, or similarly likely to be called on,
compared to typical boys in her class? Is she likely to be asked high- or
low-level questions? Explain.
