It&#x27;s frustrating, not a single critique I&#x27;ve seen of PG&#x27;s essay (including this one) seem to understand what he is actually saying.<p>This essay <i>supports</i> PG&#x27;s point, it doesn&#x27;t contradict it.  PG&#x27;s essay calls out &quot;kids with no chance of reaching their potential&quot; as &quot;very bad&quot; aspect of inequality in the fourth paragraph!<p>What essay did you read?
