[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm someone who fully believes that some people are born with more privilege or advantages (due to race, sex, SES, etc) than others. Consequently, I also believe there should be policies intended to equalize the playing field. But SAT adversity points scheme is stupid and self-defeating. What's the purpose of the exam if the score is not an accurate reflection of how well the student performed on the exam? The answer should be making free SAT prep available to disadvantaged students not artificially inflating SAT scores. [/quote] If you have a class with 40 kids that are advanced and 10 kids that are average the 10 kids that are average are going to struggle and frankly they have no business at an elite institution the actual solution is to improve schools in lower performing areas to address the knowledge gap much earlier in life and really it starts from birth-5 with more and better headstart type programs [/quote]
