[quote=Anonymous][quote]this research comes from the USA. working class families in europe are in a different position. in my country of origin, for example, there is no such thing as "bad school" - everyone can go to elementary school they wish (wherever it is) and they are all state funded. this is not the end of it all, of course, but it is one of the great equalizers. my parents were highly educated upper middle class and i we lived in the same building with policemen and truck drivers (as well as doctors and lawyers) and i shared school desk with a roma.[/quote]

It is not just the USA.  It is also true Asia (particularly China), and much of central and south America.  There is also a lack of working class families in universities in the UK, France, Japan, and several other EU countries.  Also, much of the filtering happens in many countries at the high school level, as I said, whether or not you can enter lycee or gymnasium.
