[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]States could require the use of standardized testing and codify admissions criteria, including requiring transparency and annual certifications from school officials.

For example, a state could publish an admission grid, wherein applicants are placed into “bands” based on the combination of their standardized scores and grade point averages. They could then allow for other factors to be given a set amount of weight to adjust the ranking in each band based on extracurricular or individual accomplishments. This could be limited to, for example, a 10 or 15 percent step-up from the baseline score in ranking.

Offers of admission would then be based on the ranking, made on a rolling basis downward to fill available seats.

So, more or less import the Chinese civil service examination policy, where your scores determine your position in life?

Sure. I guess we could do that. [/quote]Are you one of those people who think the American way is always the best way? We need to stop being so arrogant and consider that other countries may actually (gasp!) have something to teach us.

But, I guess if you're privileged and the current system is set up to pass privilege from parent to child, then everything works fine, right? [/quote]
