The problem I have with the chocolate cake argument is that it assumes
equity is a zero-sum game, that there is a finite resource that must be
(re-)distributed. I don't believe that is what we are really talking about
in education or in anything else. I believe we want to rethink what we
value and what we reward (outcome?). And I understand that this is harder
to do than merely redistributing what we already have.
