[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine being too dumb to realize that intelligence is rewarded in our society, and is also hereditary. Therefore rich people have smarter kids. Go read some research and get edumacated. [/quote]
For someone who I assume is educated and thinks of herself or himself as smart, you have a problem with logic.  Firstly, intelligence is not always rewarded in our country.  Intelligence does not always correspond to money (which is how you view success?). Just ask very smart people in academia, research, healthcare, non-profits, etc.  Furthermore, kids who are born into UMC and UC are born already way ahead of the game. Go read the Money forum about how UMC parents ensure their kids will be set up to be ahead financially in the long run.  Actually you can read any of the forums in DCUM and see how the UMC can help their kids out in various ways. Paying for therapy. Setting up college funds. Appealing AAP decisions. Paying for ECs.  Providing enrichment.  And the really UC-those people are are WAY ahead already. The connections their parents have opens all sorts of doors.  Not to mention your argument completely falls through for all the people who came from nothing and then do in fact succeed.  People who are born on third base and think they hit a triple are so very clueless. And yes, my kids are in AAP. [/quote]

NP.  Sorry, but PP is right, on average.  The AAP program, by its universal testing design, is supposed to seek out and find the outliers.  And tbh, I think it does find nearly all of them, but there aren't that many.

Methinks you're protesting too much.  [/quote]
