“Our research shows standardized tests help us better assess the academic preparedness of all applicants, and also help us identify socioeconomically disadvantaged students who lack access to advanced coursework or other enrichment opportunities”
So once they identify the “disadvantaged students” who flunk the tests, what are they going to do with them?
I'm very happy to hear this news. Both of my kids scored 33s on their tests and we are still very worried they will be passed on by administrators in favor of kids who scored much lower, but have other “qualifying qualities” about them my two are too privileged to have.
Er, nothing. That's the point.
They might pass their names to a business that promises for a fee to teach kids some of the stuff their high schools in Bed-Stuy left out. A good 5 percent of those kids will learn from those courses and get into a decent college and have a decent life. That would legitimately belong in the "win" column.
I'm a former college Trustee, just reading between the lines.
Those football fields need the lines freshened. I'm jus' sayin'!
