Firstly, thanks for introducing me to Harrison Bergeron. I&#x27;m looking forward to reading it. I love HN for things like this.<p>&gt; Holding back a child until the others have caught up is as much the antithesis of fairness as giving an advanced child extra benefits at the expense of the less advanced ones<p>I couldn&#x27;t agree more, other then to say apportioning finite teaching resources is a zero-sum game. If you give more attention to one kid (because of their perceived intelligence or for any other reason) then you <i>are</i> holding back another, whether you like it or not.
