Really smart people need neither tutors nor mentors. Plenty of successful people are self-made, having come from nothing.

Mentors provide useful guidelines for self study and help with networking. Doesn't require much time or money, but does require a smart mentor.

I didn't mean that mentors can't be helpful. But saying rich white people are successful because of access to mentors is just another excuse from the left.

There does seem to be some effects like that. http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2017/12/nature-nurture-and-invention-analysis.html?m=1 …

Notice how the left never looks at other areas of society, like sports. When are we going to see more diversity in, say the NBA or NFL. These careers do not reflect the country nor their communities. Often outcomes reflect where different communities focus their attention.

If there were thousands of professional football & basketball teams this might have the chance to move the needle toward more equality. But that is not the case so this is just a lame oft-repeated point Conservatives think is clever.

What are u talking about. I am referring just those two pro sports. And the fact my comment in your opinion won’t “move the needle toward more equality” for, I am guessing, the entire society u think it is a non issue. Sounds like u agree, the NFL, NBA do have a diversity problem

This is why school choice is such a HUGE issue. Free the kids from the government monopoly that dooms so many of them to a life of poverty and/or crime. “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”

Okay, but think about acknowledging all the implications of that fact.

The whole point of IQ tests was to test the poor (french farmers & workers children in the early 20th century). But the ancient chinese tests and roman ones too (for entry in the professional army created by the Marius reforms) were also G-loaded.

IQ testing aside—not all gifted programs use it—the lack of gifted programs absolutely has a disproportionately negative effect on students from low-SES background, for exactly the reasons mentioned.

When I started school in the early 70's our district eliminated the gifted programs because 'all students were gifted.' My sister & I were low SES who would've benefited greatly from the network gifted programs would have provided, as mentoring didn't exist for us.
