If this is waht some people look at Math and English, we got a problem.

You have not spent enough time on dcum.   Read some of the private school threads about how much better, stronger, more rigorous, more advantageous, is the education available to private school kids.  The entire argument is that kids should go because they will be by far best prepared to " climb the tree". [/quote]

My Asian kids went to overcrowded public schools of course because I don't have money to send them to private schools.
I believe tests are still the most objective and fair measure.  
The world is never going to be perfectly fair and leveled.  Welcome to the real world.

Of course not.  But if the fish makes it to the first branch, that is as or more impressive than the monkey getting all the way to the top [/quote]

Impressive doesn't mean qualified. 
Help the fish equiped to compete is the solution.  
 
[/quote]

Going to an excellent college is helping the fish to compete.[/quote]

shoving in underqualifed fish on top of the tree is not the solution.
[/quote]

That’s the fallacy.  This fish is plenty qualified.  Nobody is choosing anyone unqualified.[/quote]

Sorry monkey is more qualified. Fish is still less qualified although looking impressive.

Let's help fish!

[/quote]

Can the monkey even swim?   Maybe tree climbing is not all that.[/quote]

Fish can give up the 'tree' and go to what it's best at.

[/quote]

The monkey would totally struggle in the fish's world.   These decisions are subjective.  The colleges value having both monkeys and fish.  I suspect they will continue to value that and try to find a way to legally create that.[/quote]

Yes please do that legally and fairly [/quote]

It started with eliminating test scores and it will continue as they adjust the selection criteria.  They want a diverse class.[/quote]

Schools keep going backward will get less and less competitive.[/quote]

Schools found out that SAT scores actually gave them a bad outcome which is why artists and athletes were added.[/quote]
