[Role of family socio-cultural factors in school problems].
The authors analyse the factors of early school failures by studying two groups of children: one of staying down children, the other of children sent in special classes (classes de perfectionnement). In these two studies the situation is matched to control groups. The authors confirm the importance of the socio-economic factors which exist before school entrance and could be screened at the entrance in kindergarten at 3 years-old and even sooner. It is difficult to fight against these factors, but this seems more important than to modify course of studies.
