Poor kids who do everything right don’t do better than rich kids who do everything wrong

"rich students are increasingly entering kindergarten much better prepared to succeed in school than middle-class students," and they’re staying that way.

Not a day seems to go by where we’re not reminded that inequality is growing in America. But it’s not just outcomes that matter; it’s opportunity. Last month, we looked at startling new research that showed that poor kids who do what they need to do — go to college — make just about as much money later in life as wealthy kids who don’t even graduate high school.

America is the land of opportunity, just for some more than others.
