@MeganTStevenson Plus parents that have the impulse look for and cultivate it in their kids as a virtue. Others might think their kid is weird and steer then into sports instead of rubics cubes.
@RidleyDM@atlanticesque They had to get through multiple bureaucratic steps and ows (or at least red take cutting we associate with it) allowed those to be approached in the most efficient way possible to make sure it was safe and effective. Dems might have worried about "equity" or something & delayed.
@devahaz@persontradoor But it is completely consistent to have top youth academies to develop little kids into top teenagers that then go to European academies. You see that from Brazil to Portugal and what not.
@devahaz That's not what irony means. But also we've always done this since the days of Ernie Stewart. We just couldn't get them to play for us. The MLS academies should focus on developing from 12-15 years, and let the Europeans train the top of the top when they turn 15 or 16.
@TrynaBeLogical@DanFriedman81 Middle class conservatives assume they will be lucky and get rich so want low taxes while middle class liberals assume something will go wrong and want safety net.
@fieldviewdreams@herculezg Yeah now we are going to have to deal with it all year instead of practicing their weaker feet. Truvelas are especially effective if the defenders think you are going to take another step to hot with your other foot.
@mckaycoppins@JellyKind Harder than you think because you will worry you aren't print it to the best causes. And even if you do, if you aren't careful you can pain an organization in the same way.
@FntsyGold@seanparoski@ChristinaPushaw Look at the 4th study in there where you have kids from the same family. That is the only one that effectively controls for parents education and socio-economics and shows no real difference.
@FntsyGold@seanparoski@ChristinaPushaw yeah but the teachers are making the same mistake as you are! You have to look at them compared to white kids adopted by white parents of similar socio-economic and intelligence backgrounds. Evolutionary theory would expect some difference. Just not as big as it seems.
