That’s a pretty big difference, between 33 and 25. Rather, the differences are mostly due to how we collect the information. What we ask and how we ask it makes for a big difference in estimates.

For part of this years ASB service, my group got to work at an after-school program for at-risk kids, ages 5-11, to help them with their homework.
