[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ranking and comparing others is fundamental to the upper middle class focus on “meritocracy.” This plan really hits that where it hurts.[/quote] No it doesn’t. It just hurts APS and APS students. The rest of the world will continue to focus on work done, grades earned, and tests passed. Because they measure ability, even though no one wants that to be true. This is a fad that will pass, but not before damaging effects. [/quote] Not really seeing where you’ve refuted my point. [/quote] Your point seems to be that the “meritocracy” is some sham that UMC people can turn off like a light switch and make everything hunky dory for people that don’t do well in school or won’t try. Nope. It’s simply a reality that UMC are more attuned to than others. This effort to not play the game is just a head in the sand move. The earth still revolves around the sun, and real grades still matter. [/quote]
