[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More inclusive, less prestigious. That’s the choice they made.[/quote]
More inclusive makes it more prestigious.  When schools are more inclusive they rank much higher.  Bet the matriculation looks better in about 5 years than it has in the recent years.[/quote]

You can have the best STEM high school in the country or you can impose quotas to make it “look more like Fairfax County”, but you can’t have both. FCPS chose the latter.[/quote]it wasn’t done to make it look more like Fairfax, it was done to be more diverse.  All the best schools want more diversity, even the private ones.  Even the best colleges want diversity.  [/quote]

Yes, but no matter the euphemisms or how you want to reconcile it, cancelling the very metrics that measure student ability to handle challenging academics seems counterintuitive. Why do we play the emperor has no clothes with reality? If you can’t read someone, how do you know what they can do? You eventually find out when the answer is obvious, or you lower the academic rigor out of “fairness”.

[b]Meanwhile, China keeps cranking out engineers and isn’t lowering the bar for admission.[/b][/quote]

because there are no cheating scandals in China? Luckily for the US, their government is getting increasingly involved in their stock markets and banking sector. [/quote]

Interesting that PP brings up China because they're having serious problems with innovation and technology development because guess what?

All their 'engineers' are worker drones instead of innovators. You can hire a person to do 9-5 coding from anywhere. What you can't hire is leadership and innovation that formulates companies like Uber, Apple, Tesla, Facebook.

China is great at copying homework and that's it.

[b]Today, though, many believe that the West is home to creative business thinkers and innovators, and that China is largely a land of rule-bound rote learners—a place where R&D is diligently pursued but breakthroughs are rare.[/b]
