If we are counting it all then finishing college, working hard, finding educated spouse, avoiding debt, drugs,divorce,drinking,domestic abuse, dangerous driving etc is also giving your kids an unfair advantage. No?
There wouldn’t be a need for any parent to hire a tutor if public schools do their job well. There wouldn’t be a need for fighting for certain colleges if all state schools did their job well. There wouldn’t be a need to fight for aid or merit if college education was tied to real beneficiary meaning student’s future income instead of their aging parent’s income. There wouldn’t be a fight for certain professions if professions were tied to aptitude not scores, people were encouraged and given incentives to go back to their communities to raise others up and every profession provided a decent living and a safety net. We will get dedicated/qualified teachers and private tutoring wouldn’t be needed.
I think it’s just too good to be true but what if we tried?
