Michael Lazalde · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The misconception or false belief is that low-income parents generally do not have a high school diploma. In reality, many low-income parents do have a high school diploma or equivalent. Poverty affects a wide range of families, and educational attainment does not necessarily prevent families from experiencing financial hardship.
