[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When this system takes off, Qarni and team will use the same principles for state universities in Virginia.  The top 10 students from each county in Virginia will get into UVA.  So Fairfax county and Scott county will get the top 10 students in.    SAT will not count as everybody knows kids in rich NoVa prep for SATs.  And APs will not be considered as only rich school districts offer APs which is unfair to others.  And any activities that are not available across all school districts can’t and won’t  be considered as that would favor a few.  Oh - the SJWs have unleashed the genie and it is coming for them...

If it's based on population then sure why not[/quote]

This seems like a good plan, and it’s actually used in other states. It wouldn’t be only the top 10, that would just be a minimum. [/quote]

Why would it be based on population?  It is based on a simple quota.  Number of spots available divided by the number of counties.  Simple and “equitable”.  Dare I say, Lenin would have been proud?

And to the reader who says this works in other states - which ones?  So that we know who we are trying to emulate?[/quote]

Statistics suggest that all places have equal numbers of smart people as opposed to wealthy kids with access to prep so ya population seems fair as does the changes to TJ admission.[/quote]

Of course.  That thinking formed the bedrock of the Bolshevik Revolution.  Inequitable progress in societies is purely a function of opportunity and not motivation.  If you serve equal portions to everyone on a platter - you will get equitable progress.  Noble ideas but impractical.  History shows that most proponents of such overtly noble initiatives are actually driven by insidious self-serving agendas masked as do-goodery.  [/quote]

Unforutnately, these are not analogous situations even by a long shot. The difference is some kids can afford to prep their way into TJ while other cannot. This is why you have certain MS sending the lions share of students. There are plenty of smart kids everywhere. This is also public school which should benefit everyone not just wealthy elite.[/quote]
