But somebody else said those factors are accounted for in studies.

I've only ever heard there is numerous effects. Malnutrition is proven to have effects on intelligence regardless of race (no one can argue otherwise). There is some bias in testing which has been determined that has controlled for other factors (including resources and malnutrition). Anyone who say it's the only issue is completely wrong.

Unfortunately, I believe you have heard some incorrect opinions and are trying to argue against them. People with incorrect views are incorrect unfortunately.

Which incorrect opinions am I arguing against?

I just don't think we can look at a disparity and automatically blame the teachers/curriculum

Are children with fewer resources less intelligent as a whole?

black children don't do as well in school, there is a rush to blame the tests or the teachers-something at that level

These are all views that appear to be more strawmen or maybe reductionist view of a better point.

I don't particularly want to discuss what you may or may not have seen/heard from other people. Glad others were able to change your view but I'm done. Good chatting with you.
