[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would remove the aspects that a kid can never change..race, gender, zip code, rural, parents education etc. These new categories are all driven by social mobility points in the ranking systems. [/quote] All removing them would do is eliminate the ability to look at students within the context of their environment. If you do not believe that contextual environment is an important factor in assessing performance you would want this. If you are ok with the idea that top schools are more like finishing schools for the wealthy and the elite you would want this. I am fine with this because I am now one of the wealthy elite but I'm pretty sure that this exact type of self-interest is how we ended up in our current political situation.[/quote]
