OMG! New Gap Found!
22nd October 2013
Nearly two decades ago, a landmark study found that by age 3, the children of wealthier professionals have heard words millions more times than those of less educated parents, giving them a distinct advantage in school and suggesting the need for increased investment in prekindergarten programs.
Of course, children of wealthier professionals probably have a 1o-point IQ advantage over ‘less educated parents’, so I’d love to see how ‘prekindergarten programs’ are going to help with that. Gene therapy or something?
