> A common question we’ve seen online or when we talk with parents in our communities is whether it is equitable or helpful to help some kids excel academically while others are (so) far behind.

Its disturbing that this is even seriously considered.

I'm all for trying to improve equality, but there are two ways of doing that - providing help and resources for those that need it, or dragging down the people that don't. The latter is straight up dystopian.



Crabs in a bucket. Only 16% of people are born into first world countries, we should question whether it’s equitable to give them clean water and housing while others are far behind.
