I had a similar experience in school and definitely agree > I do think there is a push not to equalize everyone but to actually address individual needs, and those may draw resources from areas like advanced courses This is a great point and reminds me of the quote "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression". I definitely got a lot of privileges in school my friends didn't because I got good grades - better choice of classes, counselors will listen to you more, and maybe most of all, teachers seem to care much more about teaching and engaging and not just getting a group of kids they don't think want to learn to pass so they can leave the class.
