It is also bad recognizing and enhancing the chances of people who are neurotypical white privileged background kids.

I went to pretty good primary and secondary schools which actually tried to get the best out of pretty much everyone. Remedial teaching was taken seriously and wasn't just a bin into which difficult children were dumped. But even then the results left a lot to be desired. It's really difficult even in the absence of political interference.

The surrounding society makes a big difference. I count myself as lucky growing up where and when I did.
