Children in
developmentally inappropriate kindergarten classrooms exhibited
more stress than children in developmentally appropriate classrooms.
In inappropriate classrooms, African Americans exhibited more stress
than whites during most class activities. Low-SES and African-American
children were less involved in appropriate activities than were
high-SES and white children. (BC)
