They didn’t all learn to sit up & walk at exactly the same age. They don’t all wear the same size shoes. Why do we expect them to all learn math & reading at the same pace?

Excellent point.

This relates to what the real issue in our society is, namely that we are a nation of individuals first and part of a group, second.

Expecting everyone to progress at the same rate is part of the collectivist mindset.
