[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP asked "Why don’t the T30 (Ivys, S, MIT, top SLACs, etc) simply fill their schools with these high performers rather than affirmative action for Whites and all the rest?" You decided to hijack the discussion with a cool story bro-type rant.[/quote]

[quote]And if the PSAT were as undemanding as you claim, the National Merit cut-off scores would be much higher. As would the median SAT scores at the so-called top colleges. How are bright high school students not all getting 1600s if the subject matter is "elementary and middle school level"?[/quote]

Not sure how to respond if you have never looked at the PSAT subject material.  Very elementary my dear friend, elementary.  Do not pull out your grey hairs over a disadvantage you had because schools did not spoon feed you and your children.  Parents reviewing spelling and vocabulary with their children in the airport must really get under your skin due to the supreme advantage that child is getting years ahead of a middle school PSAT test.  Oh me or mi what is the world coming to!

What will you angst about when your child is in college or grad school when some kids read 10 to 20 times faster.  Oh me oh mi the same kids were being read to in the airport by their parents.  Oh boy, so unfair, the school did not tell me about reading!

What next?  [/quote]
