However, the rising income inequality has been difficult for schools to keep up with, and as a result, many low-income students are being left behind. The income achievement gap has steadily grown larger…

The responsibilities of completing schoolwork constantly consume students of all ages. School is stealing the rank as the number one priority for many teens.

Teotihuacan was the dominant civilisation of Mesoamerica in the 5th century. The origin, history and culture of Teotihuacan have been vast and abstruse areas of research, which rely decisively on masses of evidence found at the site of pyramids, temples and neighbourhoods in a sub-valley inside the Valley of Mexico.
