[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it is fairly arbitrary. But one year, one of my older children was given an official rank that might have helped gain admittance to a top school that is difficult to access. I had not really though about it much until then but was that fair? Did it help? If so, why cant other kids get help from this arbitrary system?[/quote] Because it is arbitrary, as you admit, and therefore unreliable. Additionally, since it is a zero sum game, if it "helps" one kid it "hurts" another, and why would anyone want an admittedly arbitrary standard to hurt anyone and be unfair?[/quote]
