A lot of food for thought here! I hope that this issue continues to be discussed in such a thoughtful manner and that we embrace attempted solutions even if experimental. It seems frustratingly easy to reduce such nuanced problems to black and white (no pun intended) and create division that gets more and more extreme and we lose any hope of progress.
On a different note, have there been efforts to create standardized testing that evaluates more objective/innate intelligence or potential? In such a way that removes the reliance on formal book smarts and cultural/financial support. I don’t see this as an easy problem to solve, but I’m sure psychologists and educators have looked into this.
