- mikece 4y agoI will agree 100% that words and terms are being thrown around without adequate or agreed upon definition of terms. Without an agreement on the definition of the words being used it's pretty much impossible to have a cogent exchange of ideas.

The pupil-with-non-intrinsically-greater-test-performance does not need increased schooling, as she already has too much. To increase equity and goodwill in our society, it is best for the student to receive less education.
