Interesting study that bears on the spoon theory.
I take from it those with the spoon are going to do ok,we need to figure out a way to get a plastic spoon, at least , to those born into a "bad" start.
Not good enough to say ,
"Just work harder and you will do ok."
It's to everyone's long-term benefit that "they" do allright.
Much more there.
