> This will be especially true in immigrant and tech-worker parents who know the value of a strong STEM education. Only people who suffer will be kids from families without the means or the desire to go beyond public education - most likely the same people that these initiatives purport to help. Short term schools like Lowell are switching from using test score to a lottery based admission. And so are UC schools! So the smart kid interested in learning but who doesn't have parents in tech to send him to private tutoring better be lucky at the lottery or have the correct "holistic" attributes his target school will admit on!
