[quote=Anonymous]Lol. Okay, in general, we agree. Kids are kids. However, it is factually true that some schools that have hard cut offs for standardized tests. I had an admissions director tell me that they only consider kids who score in the 85th %ile or above - now, that’s not all private schools. And you can certainly argue as to the meaning of such tests. But it definitely does mean that some schools only have kids within a narrower band of (at minimum) test-taking ability. Of course it’s absurd to describe such children as “better”. [/quote]
