  Seriously ? Have you read all the complaints on this board from parents who's qualified kids didnt get admitted to AAP? Demand far outstrips supply. And guess which groups are least likely to get teacher recomendations dispite having the ability? Low income kids, especially black and hispanic. [/quote]

Well, I do realize that you have a point here. So, I guess, the only way around to remove all the grading bias is standardized testing, but that can be prepped too. So it’s catch-22 then. It’s impossible to design a perfect system and all that is needed is a reasonably fair system where talent and hard work is still recognized while discounting the benefits only economically advantaged kids have.

Colleges do this really well. But it requires an opaque process.

If you have a clear rubric with an objective process where families know exactly how to get from A to B, the ones that care the most will obsessively mold their child to fit that standard even if it’s not in the best interests of the child.[/quote]
