Once again you are being flippant. The argument I referred to was that the schools don't teach girls as they teach boys (minorities as they teach white students). It is true that ghetto schools don't teach nearly as well as suburban schools. But the statistics from standardised tests show much greater racial differences. As a very pokitically uncorrect statement I have read the following on brain size. A book called the body<i/>, Author long forgotten. Human races average brain size Australian aboriginal - 1300 cc African - 1400 cc Caucasian - 1450 cc American Indian - 1500 cc Asian - 1500+ cc it should also be noted that due to a smaller cranium females probably have a smaller brain. The disclaimer is that brain size is only coordinated with intelligence, it is not a determining factor. I would agree with your argument that schools concentrate on the bottom percentiles(No child left behind), however, in most school districts in america today some emphasis is given to the upper percentiles (talented and gifted programs). It's hell though for the student that tests 80-96%tile. No accelerated learning programs just shut up and be bored. At least part of my gradeschool was divided by ability you studied with different age groups. Perhaps the biggest advantage was that I also went to a two room school, 4 grades each room. When I was bored (usually) I could watch and listen to instruction for older grades. r
