Hmm, but I've already said that >I'm not saying Harvard needs to change. >I've been arguing that standardized tests are best available method (at scale) because they're at least fair and transparent. The discussion started in this context - I replied to this. >The problem is that standardized tests are more a measurement of access to resources and parental support than raw knowledge or future success. It does feel nice to say that everyone is equal, but not everyone has an equal chance. I'm speaking more broadly - about the whole edu. sys.
