"Children from high-income backgrounds who show signs of low academic ability at age five ..."
I have no problem with the science, probably taken out of context. But the article, wow! If you can determine education outcomes at age five, then why do you even go through the motions of K-12.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoThere is a big correlation there. Edit: But I guess it might be that people showing low ability at 5 are more likely to be long-term higher-ability kids underperforming their future ability level if their parents were higher.

- erikpukinskis 10y agoI don't understand your suggestion. Are you saying that if we can predict someone has a high probability of being a C or D student that they shouldn't go to school at all?
