To be honest, I find the blank slate model just cruel, because it shifts blame for failure to achieve results onto either a personal failure to work hard enough, or some ill-defined societal boogieman of oppression or structural isms. Which tends to need massive amounts of money or power in the hands of someone to try to rectify.
In reality, you just can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit, no matter how hard you try.

- thrower123 7y agoI don't know anything about you. Who are you again? I grew up in bumfuck Appalachia, and there's a lot of people there that are so inbred and unfortunate that they can barely chew gum and walk at the same time. You can put people through years and years of education and spend all the money in the world on them, but you're not going to ever get them to understand calculus or read on grade-level. Acknowledging people's individual abilities and limits is far more humane than pie-in-the-sky optimism.
