[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I notice some schools are asking students to wax poetic now about their “lived experiences” in college essays, perhaps as a way to get around the Supreme Court rulings on race-based admissions. Either way, what is the difference between “lived experiences” and other “experiences” that a high school kid is likely to have by age 17? Are “lived experiences” different in nature? And does this this just encourage kids to write about how their identities are fundamentally shaped by their race, gender, sexuality, and socio-economic status? Is there any room to believe in universal values or to arrive on campus ready to learn rather than simply ready to signal? [/quote] It means that they know the day to day details of say, living in poverty, versus reading about it in a textbook.[/quote]
