I guess you're not aware of the Harvard lawsuit?[/quote]
as an Asian American, I am aware of that lawsuit.  There are a lot of Asians in top univ. That doesn't mean that Harvard and the like don't discriminate. IMO, it just means there are a lot of Asian American students who are really smart, accomplished, AND have good interviewing skills.[/quote]
Yea, Asians have been gaming the Harvard system for years with SAT prep classes and interview pep classes and outside tutoring.  We need to end the days where getting into Harvard is only for those students with parents who are "in the know".  These kids are smart so they will do just fine in any local state schools.[/quote]
I suppose all those black NBA players have been gaming the system, too, right?  I guess wealthy white kids who also score well on tests are gaming the system, and those other middle class white kids who prep for the SAT.  I guess you will not have your child prep for the SAT, right?  "In the know...", know what? How to get into Harvard?   Wow, they must be really really smart if they know how to get into Harvard.  Not even Harvard can tell you the right formula to get into Harvard.

All students need to live in a bubble, never watch educational shows, go to the library, etc... then all will be equal.[/quote]
The previous post was so absurd that I think it was sarcasm.  She used all the talking points that have been used 10000 times in every magnet thread - "Gaming the System", "In the Know", "Smart rich kids will do fine wherever they go"[/quote]
