Even if we have to adjust their scores.
What could go wrong with that?
So now the SAT’s are nothing but used toilet paper and mean nothing. Your white child has to play by the rules and gets no assistance or help while the black and brown who claim poverty and racism get a pass.
Most thinking people already know their "adversity score"; whites need not apply. Now what?
Will this be bundled into the overall SAT score, or will it be a separate score alongside the actual test results?
Outrageous
One year and they’re already expanding it? They have no idea if it works or not and now 150 colleges are going to admit students based on it? If it doesn’t work then a whole lot of qualified students just got rejected for nothing. They need to run it for at least 4 years before they have any idea if it’s good or bad.
Smarter kids tend to come from smarter parents.
That such parents are also better educated and wealthy is not a sign of our system disadvantaging the poor, but of the great upward mobility of our system that lets smarter kids get an education, make money, and raise children.
If we consistently had SAT scores (masked IQ tests) equally high among the poor, that would be a sign of low social mobility, as those born into low-income families somehow couldn’t get an education and earn on par with their abilities.
The more equal and opportunity-driven our system, the more our smarter families over time will sift toward the top.
....so you get an extra 30 points if
you come from a sh#thole,have a record,and call the interviewer a blueyed devil no nuffin cracker
So if you’ve worked your a** off in high school, held a part time job, helped mom and dad around the house.....the “bum” down the road might beat you out of YOUR place in college cuz he did all the opposite things.
Just setting up more students for failure.
The Marxist have won. Academics is now a bad joke.
Thank you SCOTUS, which several years ago decided affirmative action is A-OK. That is sarcasm. The left really just wants to ethnic cleanse whites from the USA.

Shades of Kurt Vonnegut’s Handicaps.

Another step towards White Genocide.
Take the ACT instead.
So why bother with the test? Just score kid based on their zip code. Really.
It’ll be really hilarious when the net result is Asians (many recent immigrants in lower socioeconomic situations) come out even farther ahead than they do now, with the extra padding on top of their already high average. Some are going to get above 1600 total!
“Students won’t be told the scores, but colleges will see the numbers when reviewing their applications.”
Looks like a system designed to be abused...
So like if I go to Viet Nam and ride around in a Swift Boat and get five (count’em) Purple Hearts in less than six months.... my SAT will be adjusted for experience.
So if I run around with JFK and his brother Robert Kennedy on Yacht and have pictures taken the SAT will capture my Up Scale upbringing in Prep Schools.
Methinks not.
Rather this is move water under the bridge to water down the poor public education and self segregation.
Self segregation for many reasons. Maybe the fact that our schools K-12 have not been successful in integration, period. Given this failure within the public school system administered by members of both cultures there may be multiple reasons. Politics of Culture and Party both play a role, as well as the subpressures of Union Membership in the NEA, NTA, etc.
The public schools promote the United Nations over the United States. Teaching that our Nation is shameful because of European Legacy without mentioning the European Nations who brought us slavery and the Indian Wars is a building block of historical significance PURPOSEFULLY OVERLOOKED (Teachers are not to be politicians or activists but in essence they promote their personal agendas in school just as Political Appointees who stay on in the USG do creating The Swamp in DC).
Kids get the lesson black culture is incompatible with say white culture because white culture is the only one capable of Racism, they took land from the Indians and used Slaves. Lost in the lesson plan the any notion or revelation of the Laws under England and the transition under the Declaration of Independence, which took 85 years and a Civil War to sort out the issue of economic system and freedom for Slaves.
Politics should be a civics course, not a constant drumbeat by educators. Political issues should require pro and con assignments rotating students in defense of different political party issues. Teaching kids to make informed decisions rather than making them into foot soldiers for socialism by pushing Green Politics, anti-Gun politics, etc., is the core issue facing real education.
Our children do not learn about the history of their State and the United States, nor are they taught anything about the Constitution, Bill of Rights or Amendments (transition of Constitutional clarifications over time). Nor are children taught how to budget a checkbook (say in conjunction a $100 dollars a week and reasonable assumptions on spending for meal plan, utilities, rent, insurance and car ownership); rather our children are ushered thru K-12 in 13-16 and handed college admissions paperwork with a near mandatory Student Loan application for 17-20K annually for four years - whether they need the money and even if they are on a full paid scholarship; free money me thinks not but to a graduate of the public school system it is a right, but later they LEARN a rite of passage in poor educational foundation.
The SAT has become an impediment to political indrontrinication and thus has to be adjusted to allow the foot soldiers of socialism and communism to continue their struggle(s).
