No more SAT/ACT requirement…

Disagree. A lot of rural schools have great programs and PARENTAL SUPPORT, which is major. I grew up in a rural school and we lacked for nothing. You can’t compare rural to inner city.

I'm not sure know what you are talking about (but this isn't the place for that).

Lets not educate those kids at the elementary, middle and high school level so that they are capable of obtaining scores that demonstrate that they might be capable of handling college level work, instead we'll lower the admissions standard so that they come to college completely incapable of handling the work required.

Everyone deserves to go to college, whether or not they are capable.

Schools are a gvt. monopoly and the inmates run the asylum. Discipline has disappeared. School choice is the best chance for reform. Data proves it.

Tjere appears to be a race to eliminate collegiate amateur sports. Pay for play.

I think it's important not to correlate quality of parenting with socioeconomic status. There are good and bad parents that are poor, middle income and rich. It's just that when you're poor, you have SO many other things working against you (working multiple jobs, taking a bus to work that eats up time, not being able to afford a tutor, etc.) that you have to deal with in addition to ensuring that your children get educated.

Socioeconomic environment should be the only allowable differentiator. African American kids from Fayetteville Manlius get considerations that white kids from APW schools don’t get.

The degree most of these kids receive should be printed on Charmin
