>A joke? It's deadly serious. Standardized tests help entrench racist ideas and keep the poor out of good opportunities.
With Internet access I think you can overcome shitton, at least when it comes to english, math and similar like physics, computer science
Unless you're literally taking about poorest of the poorest who cannot even access internet.
>Simple. If universities want government funding they must admit classes that accurately represent the socioeconomic conditions of the wider population. 1% of the class can be in the top 1% of the income bracket. If a university doesn't like this, that's fine, they can go their own way. They get 0 federal dollars and no federal backing for student loans that go there.
I don't see it working in practice.
Even when there are standarized tests there is significant gap between top and bottom students, with your approach the gap will be even wider, thus it will decrease quality of classes unless you change system even more
and I guess that's what you want to do - change system even more.
So, how would you pick students?
let's say that 500 students that sit at top 50% income applied, how will you decide which will be accepted?
Also
What will happen to those top performing students that will not be accepted due to them being at top $$$?
Rejecting them in long run will cause your whole nation
