JOANNE JACOBS: Is talent a myth? Can anyone learn anything? I don’t think so. “Testing may favor children who’ve been exposed to museums and libraries and know that a pig says ‘oink.’ But relying on teacher recommendations is far more biased, as Arnold-Ratliff concedes. Universal testing is the most effective way to get more minority and lower-income students into challenging programs.”
