You’re so, so close but maybe having not lived it you can’t quite get there. The difference is not a difference of ability. It’s situation. Did you have to work full time all the way through school? I did. Did you have no support whatsoever from your parents and have to manage to pay rent, hold down a job, and take classes full time? My wife did it. She was on her own at the age of 17, no support. Put herself through school. It has nothing to do with tilting test scores. What people need is material support and frankly, for most working class kids, the only thing that will reliably solve their problems is free education and free room and board while they’re in school. That’s what leveling the field would look like. And that’s not even starting to consider students with small children.
