Final answer:

The statement attributing Talcot Parsons' claim that college selection begins in elementary school is false; Parsons did not specifically study college selection processes in relation to elementary school education.

Step-by-step explanation:

False, the statement "Talcot Parsons found that college selection actually begins in elementary school" does not relate to any specific finding by Talcot Parsons regarding the timeline of college selection starting in elementary school. Talcot Parsons, a sociologist known for his work on social systems, did not specifically focus on the process of college selection and its relation to elementary school students.

It is worth noting, however, that foundational aspects of education and socialization starting from elementary school can influence later academic and career choices. While Parsons' work on social systems might indirectly relate to how educational and social institutions shape individual choices, there is no direct claim about college selection beginning in elementary school attributed to him.
