Bring everyone down to the level of the lowest doesn't sound like a great plan for education imo. Pushing everyone to the highest level they can achieve would be my ideal. Not everyone will end up the same but everyone will be the best they can be.
- esyir 5y agoIt's flat out terrible. Also a fantastic example of how "equity" is often just code for dragging everyone down to the lowest point. They claim that this is elevating those lower on the rung, but rather, this is doing everyone a disservice. Either those of lower ability get thrown into the deep end without a float, or those of higher aptitude are forced into wasting their life doing things they already know.

- silicon2401 5y agoThis is a common result of modern interpretations of equity and equality. Instead of helping everyone equally, more often than not the result is dragging everyone down to the common denominator.
