| Abstract: | Examined the relationship between kindergarten attendance and seventh-grade school placement of children in West Germany, differentiating associations for children of citizens from those of immigrants' children. Found a significant relationship between kindergarten attendance and later school placement for children in immigrant households but not for children of German citizens. Controlling for kindergarten attendance changed the significance for other school attainment determinants, such as father's education and household income. (Author/KB) |
