> Had you provided links that showed that kids in poverty have less time to study than their rich counterparts by some non-trivial margin, that'd be relevant, but all of your links just point out other places in poor kids lives that they are disadvantaged (less parental supervision, less childhood vocabulary, less childhood free social time, etc.), which are all definitely problems, but I fail to see where college administrators can use those to inform admissions in any meaningfully objective way.
If you can’t see how a leads to b, there are no words I can write here to convince you of anything, about anything.
I can’t make connections for you, you need to figure this out for yourself, which is why I never expected you to do anything but stick to your “let’s have an Internet argument about an obvious fact” strategy.
- BobbyJo 4y agoWhat are A and B in this scenario? Schools not giving 4th graders recess means they don't have time to study in 10th grade? Parents not reading to their kids means those kids have less time for self directed study? Again, vague disagreement isn't super helpful. I'd love to have my mind changed to match reality if I'm mistaken in some way.
