The link between parental income and a child's academic success has grown stronger than ever before. The assets that rich parents pass on to their children are invulnerable to inheritance tax; it is the "brains". Children of professionals hear 32M more words by the age of four than those of parents on welfare. Only rich families's children or very clever kids from poor families benefit from the as-is U.S. education system. All others are relegating to the marginal in this society.
