@rasmansa @scwittan In your exams of "equality of outcome" you say we should try to reach all kids to read by ten, then you caveat it by pointing out it won't really be possible for some kids but we should try with them anyway. Which is what people mean by equality of opportunity rather than outcome — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa @scwittan In this case, it means your goal is equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. If equality of outcome was your goal, you'd make sure that everyone wound up with the same reading ability, requiring you to artificially limit the progress of the most talented readers. — PolitiTweet.org
