I think I’m well within the minority here, but I am Conservative and support this initiative. I support it mostly because I’d prefer a transparent system used widely to a bunch of different opaque systems at all the various universities. I also ascribe to the belief that someone who is exceptional in an area where the average may be below proficient is truly exceptional. That being said I want to work to the ideal that something like this won’t be necessary in the future of zip code does not determine outcome.
- chrisbro 7y agoWhat are the conservative-friendly mechanisms for ensuring this type of equality across all zip codes?
- sk5t 7y agoHow transparent is it, when the test-takers can't obtain or review their own information, or opt out of participating in this scheme?
- xyzzyz 7y agoIt would only be transparent if admissions were decided by an algorithm based on inputs. With these data from College Boards, you get no transparency: the schools are still allowed to do whatever they want, and now they get extra data for a posteriori justification of their decision.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoWhy shouldn’t the schools do what they want? Nobody is entitled to go to the school they want to go to.
- rhegart 7y agoEveryone would game being disadvantaged and purposely be even more of a victim than they are now. Being depressed (true depression is different), victimhood is as cool as being a great athlete, genius etc. in today’s society. Subconsciously people stay in the victim loop due to implicit benefits from their peers.
- commandlinefan 7y agoWell, I think you're dreaming if you don't think this transparent score will just be combined with the different opaque systems already in place.
