School Success and Social Class: An Adoption Study.
Duyme, Michel
Developmental Psychology, v24 n2 p203-09 Mar 1988
Eighty-seven children relinquished at birth and adopted before the age of three years into different social classes were assessed in late adolescence. Findings indicated that the school failure of adoptees varies as a function of the social class of the adopive parents: the higher the social class, the lower the number of repeated grades. (RH)
