[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many California high schools allow for unlimited retakes, don't punish for late work, etc.  The report details that many of these students come from low-income, English-learning environments.

Even if the UC's still used SAT's they would get the same quality of applicant since they select by high school.

Can you imagine being an OOS student paying $90k a year for something like this?[/quote]

I’m a California parent. Apparently MCPS allows for retakes. When I read that on DCUM, I was surprised. I also read there are “honors” classes for all students, regardless of capability or interest? My son is applying OOS to UMD and it definitely made me pause. What kind of students will be his classmates if the most competitive district in the state of MD (MCPS) has such lenient policies?  At least in California, the top school districts are insanely competitive. Retakes? That would never happen at my child’s school.

They’re not for everyone, but as a California resident the UCs are a state treasure. [/quote]
