[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]States could require the use of standardized testing and codify admissions criteria, including requiring transparency and annual certifications from school officials.

For example, a state could publish an admission grid, wherein applicants are placed into “bands” based on the combination of their standardized scores and grade point averages. They could then allow for other factors to be given a set amount of weight to adjust the ranking in each band based on extracurricular or individual accomplishments. This could be limited to, for example, a 10 or 15 percent step-up from the baseline score in ranking.

Offers of admission would then be based on the ranking, made on a rolling basis downward to fill available seats.

This sounds like Communism cloaked in states' rights.

It also is biased towards standardized testing and this meritocracy propaganda. You're showing your political agenda here, OP. And, the several affirmative responses immediately smack of repeat posters.  I've said this before. But I think there is a political poster/troller who posts a lot.[/quote]
