Many people seem refuse to accept that the innate talent can't be suppressed. In contrast, the biggest hurdle for kids to get ahead in math, or in STEMM in general, is their innate interest. At least that's my personal experience. I have two kids. One can focus for hours and is naturally excited when studying maths. The other is a born extravert, can't focus for more than 30 minutes, showed zero interest in math, and had a hard time intuitively understanding even elementary math concept like relative speed or ratio.
Guess who effortlessly moved multiple grades ahead and who struggled, despite that they both had equal access to education and tutoring? I don't know how to create equitable education in a resourceful family, let alone the entire society.
