Yes, but you do that by actually helping them, not by hitting those who do well or already have the environment to support them.
You actually help them by changing schools' culture, and investing so as to cut class sizes and to extend school hours.
- Moissanite 4y agoIf people could be trusted to be perfectly fair and honest, then I would agree. In reality, having met plenty of privately-educated individuals, I am confident their outcomes are achievable without private schooling; none of them were great minds who had been unlocked by access to better teaching. What they did have - in abundance - was an unreasonable and unfair advantage when it comes to networking with rich people. The problem with private education has nothing to do with the difference in teaching quality and everything to do with social mobility and nepotism.
