跨不同领域的多种形式的干预措施，如果向所有学生而不仅仅是弱势群体提供此类干预措施，就会产生令人惊讶的效果，扩大弱势青年与其优势青年之间本来就存在的差距。这种差距的扩大是否与美国的利益和价值观不一致，需要在干预措施普遍化时认识到这种差距扩大的潜力，并制定一项国家政策，解决心理、政治、经济和道德层面的问题，提升顶尖学生——明天的商业和科学领袖——和/或提升底层学生，以纠正过去的不平等并减少与之相关的未来成本。本文是让学者和政策制定者注意到这一困境并引发全国性讨论的第一步。
Many forms of intervention, across different domains, have the surprising effect of widening preexisting gaps between disadvantaged youth and their advantaged counterparts-if such interventions are made available to all students, not just to the disadvantaged. Whether this widening of gaps is incongruent with American interests and values requires an awareness of this gap-widening potential when interventions are universalized and a national policy that addresses the psychological, political, economic, and moral dimensions of elevating the top students-tomorrow's business and science leaders-and/or elevating the bottom students to redress past inequalities and reduce the future costs associated with them. This article is a first step in bringing this dilemma to the attention of scholars and policymakers and prodding a national discussion.
