Even assuming that it was possible to figure out how much someone "deserves"....
Don't forget that teachers don't get a bathroom break except before/after the day and lunch, and they are constantly "on" performing in front of a potentially hostile audience of people who are aren't paid to be there and forbidden from leaving, and who sometimes turn violent, they are salary-exempt not hourly (they have to grade papers and such at home), and they generally require a specialized undergrad or masters degree, and continuing education.
Of course the whole concept of the diagnosis makes no sense; that one person has a disease that makes them take more time to solve problems, while another person is healthy but supposedly stupider. The test should simply be untimed. (Which I thought it was, with the switch to computer-based real-time adaptive tests?)
This is the reason that Moral Majority types really should stop complaining that poor folks always seem to have TVs and video game systems. $500 per family to keep kids from getting too bored+jittery is a good deal.
The deep irony is that the people complaining about the book's supposed abuse of "male power over women", completely fail to acknowledge Kickstarter's power over its users, even though both the same concept.
Maybe when the founders are unemployed and give love to each transaction. After they grow, that's like saying "charging below cost is their moat". Amazon and eBay to CS cheaper per transaction than a small startup.
Intel Science Fair does more harm than good, since when it was the Westinghouse. It is one of the vestiges of privilege, where a bunch of rich (and a few lucky) kids get to hang out in a research lab and then write up the lab's work as their own, earning a branding of "genius" unavailable to the less privileged class.
Why is it harmful, you may ask? Because every smart kid who didn't get handed a professional project to submit, and doesn't know the game, thinks that he/she is so much less smart/hardworking/creative/accomplished than these supposed geniuses, and is discouraged from continuing in science research.
Lab experience is great for kids, and we should be expanding that experience to everyone, not using it as a tool to cement the position of the upper classes.
