Children born into low- and high-income families are born with similar abilities. But they have very different educational opportunities, with children in low-income families less likely to have access to early childhood education, more likely to attend under-resourced schools that deliver inferior K-12 education, and less likely to attend or complete college.
出生在低收入和高收入家庭的儿童其实有着同样的天赋，但却占据着不同的教育机会。低收入家庭的儿童更缺乏接受早期教育的渠道，更可能就读于那些提供低劣12年制教育的学校，也更少机会去接受或完成大学教育。
