I asked this of my students in 2017. There are still a substantial amount of families who do not.
oh yeah for sure, but i lived in an area where you could expect the answer to be "yes" for everybody
ngl, I expect at least one of those families was lying.
Maybe I've just never lived in a real upper middle class community, but, uhhhhh, poor people have other priorities, and the library exists.
yeah i grew up in a suburb that ranged from "upper-middle class" to "almost billionaires" so there weren't exactly a lot of poor people in my school. not zero; there was a small area out of town where poorer people live that was included in the school zone (i had a mentor in high school from that area and he was one of the people that really introduced me to socialism. also he had internet access at home) but not many
This is wild to me. I thought those types of places only existed in movies.
and when i said poorer earlier i mean relatively speaking. i'd expect everyone there was still above the official poverty line.
My town growing up had a median per-capita income of $19k (in 2020 dollars). So this is what I expect from others.
