Not only is this analogy wrong (there are plenty of animals that run the moment they are born) but it is also deeply insensitive.
The reason people do worse from underprivileged is not only the lack of quality education, but a fundamental difference in the quality of life. Everything from the diet, to available time, and noise pollution, all makes a difference on education level. Our education system relies heavily on outside help, and poorer neighborhoods often don’t have the time and energy to give their kids even the most basic help with their homework.

Thanks for elaborating on my point.
- david38 5y agoThe analogy is correct because we’re talking about people. Parents are the primary educators. When they aren’t educating, or need to educate on too many other things, academics suffer. This is news to nobody. It would be highly suspicious if environment had no influence on educational outcomes.
