Meanwhile, Chinese students are kicking our ass.
Madness. Reaping and sowing come to mind. This will not end well.
They need people in leadership that are stupid enough to believe in communism.
It’s becoming like; “If you got the money, we’ll take you”.
> Yet an exhaustive UC faculty senate report, commissioned by Ms. Napolitano and released this year, found the tests aren’t discriminatory and play an important role in protecting educational quality.
They are discriminatory - that’s their purpose. They discriminate against those who are less well intellectually prepared for college.
Resumes from graduates of any college that doesn’t use them should go straight to the round file.
Yeah, the faculty will just luv teaching these kids. College will be the new High school (and kind of already is).
This BS school year for K-12 is going to create a huge dent for next 10 years in kids abilities that they will never catch up, so the only solution is to lower the threshold of what is considered passing.
Then these kids will have to compete with smart kids from China and India for top paying jobs where kids are challenged in school and do not get participation trophies.
I got a step-grand kid who is a smart boy exiting the 6th grade. He is even a grade level ahead. He just lost is advantage. Meanwhile his brother who has a tough time w/ some dislexia (runs in family) in 4th grade, barely meeting threshold is going to get the shaft.
In Los Angeles, over 65% of the High School Graduates can NOT read, write or count above the 3rd grade level, All of them are “Qualified” for College!
The best/only chance middle-class kids have of getting into Ivy Leagues is to excel on standardized tests. Otherwise, all the slots will be filled by less capable Biden’s, Clinton’s, Kennedy’s, Lori Loughlin spawn, selected minorities, and their ilk.
Too many Asian students? Too few from more favored minorities?
The more dumbed down Americans are, the better it is for Democrats. Napalatano is a deep state Democrat so this is not a surprising move.
Dropping the SAT and ACT? So what? Skin color already outweighed those scores anyway, didn’t it?
California wants additional Revenue. ACT and SAT have known about this threat for a long time and have tried to diversify their offerings
Democrats want to dumb down society to the level of their obedient, easily controlled constituents.
Back when I was applying for college, the UC system, on paper, accepted the top 1/8 of HS grads, the state college system the top 1/4 and the city/community college system any HS grad. Somewhat foolishly I only applied to UC even though my HS GPA was something like 2.9. But I was good at standardized tests and got in with my SAT scores. My rejection and acceptance letters arrived within a week of each other. Graduated in four years which was pretty standard for the time, but is somewhat exceptional now.
Every applicant should claim “Native American” background.
Let the universities choke on their racism.
Absent a selection mechanism, many underqualified will
be admitted and die a rapid death when mixed with the
cut throat high performers. The coddling is over a week into the first quarter. Darwinian academics. Perform or GTFO.
So send the minority kids on to college without the required high school courses. That's smart.
