Want Less Inequality? Stop Subsidizing Schools

From forbes.com -No matter how good and dedicated teachers might be, if students are mediocre and below, they will remain so.  You can change class sizes, or waste billions on computers, but neither will change the distribution of talents.   Brilliant students will benefit from access to the subsidized technology, and they will do brilliantly even if their teachers are mediocre.  Above average students situated in class with brilliant student will perhaps raise their own performance. But let brilliant teachers teach mediocre and below-mediocre students, even with the most up-to-date equipment, and you’ll only get, at best, good statistics about education and more paper degrees. At worst, you’ll get students bored to death – and boredom is a source of vice.  More News New Mexico
