  1. They also use height, something not much affected by personal behavior, as the determining factor. That's not a fair comparison for scholastic achievement or wealth, both of which are strongly affected by personal behavior.

  2. I unsubscribe from people who use articles in the title. You know, "the" and "a" and similar. I see those all the time and I think they're really overused.

  4. We don't want to give everybody an equal education. We want to give everybody equal opportunity to education, but the idea of honors and AP courses is to give more education to kids who can handle it either through intelligence or the determination of the students -- or their parents telling them to put down the controller and pick up the textbook. Equity demands equal results, and any different in results is considered a result of bias. If there's a homework gap, then it's society's fault, not the parents' or the kids', not because of facts but because no other answer is considered acceptable through the lens of equity.
