To be clear, it's not my intention or plan, just thinking about all the kids who have no challenge throughout their developing years and if society might have a stake in making them more normal, closing those achievement gaps.

I don't the result of that particular naturalist experiment is "more normal", simply because when completing schoolwork is like sandblasting a soup cracker, "normal" doesn't quite seem like the logical outcome.
