[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignorant parents that don’t value education or discipline.  Money thrown at education won’t fix this.  It’s a cultural problem around how education is views and valued. Unless the government sends all babies home with an AI parent to raise them properly from birth to 18, the gap will persist.

That wouldn’t even solve the problem, since at least half of IQ and academic performance is genetic. It’s better that we drop the charade that we can do something about this gap and just focus on letting each kid meet their own potential and graduate school on their way to being a productive member of society. Even if that’s as a farm or construction worker.[/quote]

As a parent and longtime educator, I agree. Don’t let anyone tell you that acknowledging this fact is “eugenics.” Much of intelligence is inherited (regardless of what race you are — this is NOT a racial argument). We are banging our heads against the wall if we’re trying to achieve the same academic results with every child. Of course we provide equality of opportunity. But there will never be equality of outcomes among all children. [/quote]
