[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's what SATs are for. A first grader may have other issues that haven't allowed him to fully develop to his full IQ potential yet. [/quote]

Overwhelming majority of colleges admit anyone with a pulse. Only the top 100 or so have any sort of admissions standards. And new trend amongst state schools and crummy privates is to [b]remove all math and science requirements[/b] because so many of the dummies they admit can't earn even a 2.0 in college algebra and chemistry. Days of a bachelors degree teasing out IQ are long gone.[/quote]

What a disgusting comment. [/quote]

I would much rather my kid end up a low IQ student who can’t “even earn a 2.0” without removing math and science requirements than a bitchy person like you — even if he or she is a bitchy person like you who attends Stanford, takes an incredibly difficult course load, & graduates with a 4.0.[/quote]

I don’t get what’s disgusting about it. Maybe there is an uncomfortable grain of truth here. A bachelors degree used to mean something. Now it is mostly an indicator that the individual came from a family that was able to pay for it. Great for your kid, but what about the thousands of other kids out there who are similarly situated in terms of cognitive abilities but lack the family resources to go to college? [/quote]
