[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of misunderstanding on this board. Scores are not adjusted- there is just another number near the score to provide context for the socioeconomic status of the student. It is race neutral which is great for poor whites and Asians. Why are you guys so upset? [/quote] Judgments based on SES are discriminatory. Maybe it would make sense to include SES for lower scoring students so schools can decide if the score may be due to SES. But including it for high scores has the potential to discount the higher scores of high SES kids. And that that sounds discriminatory. Just as devaluing low SES kids' applications would be discriminatory. [/quote] It is discounted! Having a higher SES means you have the resources to pour into that single test- most likely the SAME exact kid with a lower SES status would get a lower test score... so how is SES not part of the equation??[/quote]
