[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I 100% believe that shady things are happening at specific test prep centers. I'm saddened that current students seem to be okay with that, much like they seem to be okay with rampant cheating just to get through basic their four years there. But just like the rise of private "college application counselors" when I was in high school, where wealthy parents paid for EXTENSIVE manipulation of their child's essays and application package - on evidence at TJ still today in the explosion of clubs and activities so that everyone can be "president" or "chair" of something - trying to get the parents of these kids NOT to cheat and game the academic system in favor of their children is like playing whack-a-mole. I'm with PP(s) who have opined that an entirely school-based identification, application, and selection process is the only way to even attempt to curb this influence, and it needs to start with AAP selection.[/quote] Your belief counts for nothing. It has to be grounded in some verifiable basis. The world is littered with conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, science-deniers, flat-earthers. Many hold those beliefs for convenience, but many others hold those convictions very strongly. The rest of your statement flows from your belief, for which I have seen no concrete basis.[/quote]
