Edits to Lead Section

I made changes to lead section. I reformatted the structure of opening paragraph. GS2325 (talk) 04:51, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Did not add the following quote, not sure how to convey it.

The article does deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps: lower socioeconomic status.   It should address the topics related to historically underrepresented populations but I was not sure how to convey it in the article.  I wanted to use the following statement from the book, The Knowledge Gap: the hidden cause of America's broken education system, author Natalie Wexler states, that an education historian, Diane Ravitch argues there's nothing wrong with the American education system as a whole.  Our more affluent students are doing fine; it's only the schools serving poor kids that need help - an insertion that has been challenged.  But even assuming she is right, there's still the question of what kind of help to provide.  Rather than focusing on the knowledge gap, she says that " poverty is a bigger problem than curriculum."  And that standardized tests "reflect family income, not knowledge or learning."
