Completely agree. Rich black kids would have no problems; poor white kids are just as badly prepared as poor black kids; the common denominator is economic resources more than anything. Being rich affords the child several benefits: 1. Stay at home parent with the time to take the child to enrichment classes, help the child with homework, challenge the child to stay on top of his classes 2. Child has access to extracurricular experiences such as summer science camps, weekend scouting trips, leadership retreats, etc. 3. Parents are involved and interested in the child's activities - parents of challenged backgrounds work so hard to make ends meet that at the end of the day, they just crash in front of the TV and tell the kids to play outside.
