Did I use a lot of "shoulds"? The point I was making is that I don't think there is any need for pragmatic next steps.

Each person has the baseline intelligence that they have. You cannot predict what this will be by looking at the colour of their skin or any other factor. So we should make schools and resources for all children as good as possible.

We know that some children don't perform as well as they might in school for a variety of environmental and social reasons unrelated to their intelligence (I gave the example of underfunded schools but there are many more things like parental attitudes to education, language and reading skills pre-K, time spent studying on and on). This maps more closely onto skin colour. But far from perfectly.

We should address those environmental and social factors as musch as possible.
