[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like in a job interview. When they say “Why do you want to work here?” The answer can’t just be, “I really need a job and all my friends will be impressed if I get one at Fancy Corp., plus I like the benefits here.” And no one argues with that - it’s just the way the game is played. This is the school admissions version.[/quote] Again, have you interviewed warehouse workers? This is exactly the kind of answer that is given sometimes. I don't argue with you that this is the way the game is played. I do think people are blind if they don't see the chasm between where some kids are coming from and the culture they're trying to enter. When the chasm is driven by priviledge and the school talks so much about equity, perhaps they should not be blind about this chasm.[/quote]
