Reasonable. Otherwise you should depend on grades, which we all know are not affected at all by parental income or supplemental tutoring.

SATs are biased toward rich kids, but they are the least biased of any of the other factors considered (school attended, grades, extracurriculars, essays, etc.)

The SAT and ACT are biased toward students who study and do the work. That's it.

Obviously, higher IQ students are going to have an easier time of it. And so are students who have had a good education. One can't do much about IQ, but we can do a lot about ensuring all students get a strong education. And that's where progressives fail.

I have no idea why Democrats have embraced this race to the bottom mentality. It's not doing anyone any good. Progressives are dragging everyone down with their policies in public schools. And then they'll post about how standardized "tesrs" are unfair because they can't even do a basic spell check.

Liberals. You don't have a serious progressive party or influence in your country. There are many much more progressive countries than yours that are excellent at creating public schools with standards. Mind you, the last time your Conservative Party got news of a standardized education system, they called it communism.[/quote]
