[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is particularly sad about this thread is the tone! Obviously, the statistical information is useful but I should suggest it is not and should not be determinative. Hopefully, there is more to education than stats. Moreover, scoring well on tests bears little resemblance to hopefully other more relevant characteristics such as judgment and values. By focusing so much on these sorts of stats only creates a sense that one really is among the best and brightests. I hope we can appreciate that that arrogance only creates its own issues. Let's just look at the Harvard MBAs and MIT PhDs on Wall Street who almost destroyed our economy. No doubt, they scored well on their PSATs, and we know their arrogance and belief that they had it all figured out are substantially responsible for our current economic situation.[/quote] That tone and test obsession appears to have come from one person so I wouldn't put too much weight on it.[/quote]
