So children's opinion is possibly accurate. However if current state is not the desired state we may choose to educate children in a way that does not reflect current state of affairs but rather such that will lead to the desired one.

IQ is not boosted much by intensive education, especially in adults. Intensive education can raise IQs during childhood, but by the time these children mature into adults, their IQs are roughly where you'd expect by extrapolating from demographic factors.

Education is a prerequisite for making best use of one's intellect. Do you propose witholding education from boys so that adult outcomes are more equal?

Is equality a desired outcome? Or rather having as many brilliant people as possible regardless of their gender?
