The social classes differ in socialization practices in such a way as to produce dramatic differences in readiness for school. Much of the achievement gap between higher and lower SES groups is caused by these differences. IQ and achievement gaps can be greatly reduced by a variety of interventions ranging from breast-feeding of infants to protection against stereotype threat.
