Kindergarten readiness gap between low-income and higher-income students shrinking (quotes Sean Reardon)
Sean Reardon found the readiness gap of low-income kindergarten students decreased between 1998 and 2010. “I fully expected the gap to widen because income and economic inequality was continuing to widen over that time,” Reardon said. “The trend is actually going in the opposite direction. It’s good news but surprising news.”
