Question text:
Imagine that this ladder pictures how UK Society is set up. At the top of the ladder are the people who are the best off - they have the most money, the highest amount of schooling, and the jobs that bring the most respect. At the bottom are people who are the worst off - they have the least money, little or no education, no job, or jobs that no one wants or respects. Now think about your family. Please tell us where you think your family would be on this ladder. Mark the rung that best represents where your family would be on this ladder.
