Annotation

Inquiry points out that in Beijing preschools with proportionally more rural migrant peers, SD (short-duration) rural migrant children achieved better oral language skills, and LD (long-duration) rural migrant children exhibited less behavioral problems, while urban children fared worse as to oral expertise and had more behavioral problems in kindergarten with a big rural migrant structure.
