Let’s Smash the College Admissions Process

We have public and private schools.

If the private schools aren't tax supported, they can do whatever the hell they want.
They're not necessary if the public schools are doing their job.
They're just nice places if you are fortunate enough to afford them.

I belong to a private club.
If the club didn't want my money, the area has public golf courses all over the place.

You belong to the club because it has very nice amenities... am I right? That doesn't mean the public course is not doing its job for people who just want to play golf... we have public and private schools here in our tiny system the public schools are stellar... the private schools are tremendously expensive and the kids eat lunch in a dining room with full table settings everyday... the educational opportunities are the same...

So you would also agree that growing up in a McMansion neighborhood is "raising your children better"- than raising them in the Ghettos?

Hey! Which is "raising your children better"- Raising them on the poor side of town- or the WELL-TO-DO uppity uppity WHITEY-TIDY side of town?

Define this "raising your children better" for the benefit of the forum readers PLEASE!

What all does that entail exactly? Can you make a short-list? Do you have an easy 3-step action plan for parents?

Please! DO TELL! You may be onto a major breakthrough discovery here! :laugh: We may be able to save the planet after all!

I mean GO-O-OLLY! Had people known that "Raising your children better" was all it took, WOW! We would not even be discussing this today huh?

Hey! ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT IS NOT "RAISING YOUR CHILDREN BETTER", LISTEN UP NOW!

Within days or weeks, the Supreme Court is going to render a decision on the future of affirmative action in higher ed. If things go as expected, conservatives will be cheering as these policies are struck down — and progressives will be wailing.

In 2017 research led by Raj Chetty found that students from families in the top 1 percent of earners were 77 times as likely to get admitted into the Ivy League than students from families making less than $30,000 a year.

We can't have college admission based on the color of someone skin. That is racist. The solution is to allow school choice so minorities can afford to send their kids to private schools too so their kids can prepare for college. Many of our public schools are failed institutions and do not prepare kids for college admission.

But DEMOCRATS fight school choice why??? Because the teachers unions support the democrats and the teachers unions don't want school choice.

The problem is Single parent homes don't generally do as well at raising kids as two parent families. 69% of all black kids are born to a single parent home. That is a HUGE problem.
