Summary
Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that the schools are broken and failing. Proposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically proven fact that people all understand intuitively: academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In this audiobook, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of the entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability
