You’ve got to take into account ...

—White kids are propagandized for 12 years in the school system (plus college) to feel guilt and shame for being white.

—Asian kids have no such handicap.

Hispanic kids are told they can not do advanced math.
(yes I know this because I was told this too even though my grandfather was a mathematician and so was his father )

If you allow the school to tell your children what they can and can not learn they are NOT going to learn. Quite frankly the education system in America royal sucks now because they keep lowering the standards. Leftist propaganda to create followers instead of leaders. If they make college free it will also be worthless.

I’m with you big time on the waste that is our public school system, and the sterling results of home schoolers highlights that beautifully. Part of the low standards and inefficiency of the public school systems, in my view, is actually designed to hold back what simply bright, not brilliant, students can achieve with a good education—thus somewhat leveling the field.

But IQ tests are something different. Smart kids of any ethnicity will consistently ace IQ tests and their proxies whether or not they receive tutoring, are pushed by their parents, or are even simply diligent. Likewise, especially hard working students of any ethnicity can compensate somewhat for the limits of their genes—and go farther in life than the less diligent.
