We don't have to stop parents completely from passing on their advantages to their children -- which is good, because that would be impossible. What we could and should do, however, is equalize public education spending per child across the entire US. The system we've always had, of funding education out of local property taxes, is grossly unfair.

>We don't have to stop parents completely from passing on their advantages to their children We have to. Parents don't just pass on their advantages, they pass on their values which probably are more important than economic advantages. No amount of school reform will fix instances where kids have to go back to house with a missing father and a overworked mother. Doing anything else and saying shit like 'lets remember we are lucky' is purest of pure hypocrisy.
