This is why we test in America. A test-less system just cements generational privilege and mediocracy. You can only advance if your parents guide you into developing the right "portfolio" from childhood.

@Empty_America There are almost no working class kids at elite universities. The working class kids who are there are mostly kids who were selected to attend elite boarding schools on scholarship. The primary example is prep for prep kids in NYC.
@Tommy8788 @Empty_America Senator Vance is an exception. OSU undergrad, Yale law. Came from Appalachian Ohio Yeah an objection to the standardized test is that the rich can pay for their kids to cramschool-prep them at night, but ... maybe perfect is the enemy of the good here
@LeminenceGrease @Tommy8788 I think good law schools are the most viable route for poor kids to make immense upwards mobility via testing.
