This kid did as well on the ACT as the kid who needed rigourous schooling and tutoring. They also experienced more diversity and had the responsibility of a job. How engaging were those games?

I can't believe someone them the boring one.

And people assume his school's rigourous classes aren't all that. How do we know?

What none of you are considering is where Kid A would have ended up if he had Kid Bs opportunities or what Kid B might have been able to do in Kid As shoes.

Kid A is maximizing his potential; Kid B is not.
