re: Disparate Impact Thinking Is Destroying Our Civilization

The first step IMO is enacting school choice including magnets and trade schools.

While I like the idea of school choice, that only puts kids who want to learn in one set of schools and leaves those without parental support in another set of schools. These schools then go from 30% problem kids to 80%, killing any chance for those with desire to learn.

Magnets and trade schools would address both ends of the scale.

Regardless, when you say "these schools then go from 30% problem kids to 80%," 30% is more than enough to disrupt education of the 70%. Our 1°/2° school results speak to that.

If you concentrate IQ gifted kids, low IQ but physically gifted kids, and intellectually disabled kids, that leaves kids in the middle, capable kids. Admins & teachers overseeing education of "kids in the middle" could feel assured those students are capable, if not gifted. Now then, under those circumstances, a disruptor arises, he or she can be dealt with much more effectively.
