school not prepared.
When unprepared children begin school behind, they have an inclination to fall further and extra behind.

The Perry Preschool Project can be a research project started in the 1960’s. Over the last Four decades, this study has compared 2 types of African American children born in poverty at high risk of failing at school. The children were 3 and 4 years old. Some of the children received a high quality preschool program and some children received no preschool.
The participants are actually contacted and interviewed over time. Data was also gathered from schools, social services, and arrest records. Now, these kids are in their 40's.
The study learned that those who went to preschool:
Had higher earnings
Were prone to hold a job
Committed fewer crimes
