Good news, kids. Everybody gets an A.
Yay.
I still don’t want to fly on a plane where the pilot says to the co-pilot: “I have a secret. I cheated all the way and can’t really land. Take over.”
Copilot: “That’s what I was going to tell you about myself.”
Pilot: “See if a passenger is over Macho Grande and can fly this thing.”
In a related story water is wet.
“So, why did universities engage in this “natural experiment”?”
MONEY! A bunch more “students” on guaranteed student loans.
DEI requires abandonment of all standards except the standard of victimhood.
"Nope, never had a lesson."
A family member is in the college application process, and, man, thing were a lot simpler when I was a kid. So much gamesmanship is involved now. Some places, like California’s public universities, won’t accept the SATs/ACTs even if you wanted to submit them. A few top-tier private colleges still require them. The vast majority of colleges and universities in the middle are “test optional.” Which presents a dilemma for a kid with a good but not spectacular score. What if your SAT is likely *above average* for the particular college but might be *below average* for the applicants submitting a score because most of the applicants scoring lower than you opt not to submit a score, so your “good score” might be among the lowest of the applicant pool and you look bad by comparison? See the problem? Things were simpler when every damned college required the SAT/ACT and that was that.
THE SAT IS RACIS’!!!
So let’s dumb America down to whatever low intellect is necessary to ensure blakkk participation in edjumication at whatever percentage blakkks occupy in our teevee ads. 50%? 60%? 80%? Whatever!
No need to qualify to participate in the academy! Your color is your admission badge.
What could possibly go wrong??!? Because colonialism and hunnerd-fifty year old (fixed!) slavery DEMAND it of fragile white America.
(Note to Fury: I’m informing you of this racis’ post so you can stutter back “Grow Up”. M’kay? Because facts and statistics are a foreign language to you.)
>> See the problem? Things were simpler when every damned college required the SAT/ACT and that was that.
Oh yes, I see the problem. That in a nutshell is the WHOLE REASON that standardized testing came into being!
Woke college can be replaced by a deck of flash cards?
In all seriousness these kid were brilliant but not really pharmacists yet. They had immense knowledge but without exposure to what really happens in hospital pharmacy on the floor they did not know how to use their great knowledge. THAT WAS MY JOB! I trained them and enjoyed it.
Any college applicant that can’t solve 7 + 2 = [ ] + 6 needs to be given a city bus ticket off campus and a kick in the azz.
The bus ticket is optional.
>> Woke college can be replaced by a deck of flash cards?
In the American academy, yes.
Sadly, in the global talent marketplace, no, it’s not that simple...
Bad News, is that oriental kid next to you with a family that is normal gets your job or even me a white boy but old, old, old. I am amused.
No one will hire the dopes. And then the colleges get a bad reputation, then less people go there, then the college loses funding, and less people go there, etc...
The public colleges are way overfunded. Shouldn’t waste resources on stupid students. Cut the funding, teach the top students.
>> I trained them and enjoyed it.
Good for you! And thank you for persevering. I think ‘woke’ will collapse upon itself, eventually, for just the reasons you expose in your testimony.
FRegards and Blessings!
I cant remember, but did the previous tests have anything similar on it like to pattern recognition, like childhood tests. Childhood IQ and competency tests used to reward and praise children for pattern recognition.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Ah, the fruit of public education.
