This a really great, insightful and useful comment.<p>I think a lot of well-educated (or self-educated) tech folks think that if only we could fix our education system, poverty and income inequality would disappear under a massive rise in productivity and innovation. I know that I am guilty of thinking this way.<p>But you&#x27;re right: family and socioeconomic status are highly predictive of education outcomes. So we need to directly address both schools <i>and</i> poverty at the same time in order to create a virtuous cycle of social improvement.
