[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if a student “prepped” which means that they were prepared for enriched learning then that means that they should not receive enriched learning? I’m not sure I’m understanding the argument here.

BTW, my kid went to CES with no “prep” and we don’t know anyone who did. [/quote]

Yes. Even if the parents encourage kids to learn outside school or even point them in the direction of say a free enrichment resource like Khan Academy, it is inequitable. Because how can a parent who is not educated or doesn't have a fast internet connection compete? In some families there are even two parents. Not fair. Make it all equal first and then we'll see whose kids are actually gifted. How do we measure giftedness after we have equalized everything? I don't know. Why don't we just make it all a lottery and be done with it?  [/quote]
This is getting close to Harrison Bergeron territory.

Probably should just give our kids to the government to take care of immediately after child birth to make sure that no kid was ever given a special advantage from their parents that could aid in success in any way. [/quote]
