That's racist!
The more you make, the more you value education, and the more likely you are to be sure your kids are educated.
This is news?
Stupid people tend to have lower skilled jobs and stupid kids.
Is that fact somehow lost on this author? She is implying cause and effect in the exact wrong direction.
(for the stupider readers- yes, I know RANDOM CHANCE will sometimes benefit a genius born to poor idiots, but heredity and evolution (!!!yes libtards love evolution, right?) suggest it is just that- random)
Dat tess is raciss!
What nonsense and hokum. The SATs test the likelihood that you will succeed in college....
The fact that education may or may not be valued by those in lower income levels is not a new concept. Not every one should go to college. If you want to work hard and learn you will do well. If you want to sit around and smoke dope and talk commie smack you will become president
um... so...
basically ....
this shows that the children of intelligent parents are more intelligent than the children of idiot parents...
and this is shocking news ?
Am I the only one who finds this kind of thing absolutely frustrating!?!?
Would ANYONE be shocked if the child of Michael Jordan turned out to be good at basketball?!
Then why... WHY!? would anyone be shocked that the child of super intelligent parents turned out to be smart?!?
This PC nonsense is CRAP!
People are DIFFERENT!!!!!
Accept that FACT! and lets move on ! STOP lying and saying everyone is the same. THEY ARE NOT! They may all be deserving of the same fair treatment under the law, and all should be treated with decency. But to constantly push this false meme that everyone is equally intelligent is pure and utter hogwash!
What this neglects is most successful educated families value the knowledge and learning process education provides. That is why they put their resources and efforts into having their children in successful education programs.
Could it have something to do with smarter people who make more money produce smarter children?
I didn’t think it was even possible to dumb down college any further. How wrong I was.
Nonsense. I scored a 1350 and I was as poor as a church mouse.
The authors explored the data and concluded that the most important key to intelligence was to have intelligent parents.
I thought the SAT was all essay questions now?
A chill just went down my back as I started thinking “Chairman Mao and the Great Leap Forward”.
Recasting the lede:
The SAT — an almost universal college entrance gauge — will be dumbed down so that we can pretend morons and slackers are as qualified as intelligent, hard-working applicants.
Yes, the dumbing down of the SAT continues apace.
I didnt do to well on the SATs back in ‘83, not privileged, didnt go to college, joined the workforce and have been working ever since...
Fact is ,,, not every kid is college material . . .
How low can you go?
Heaven forbid we have high expectations. Excellence used to be desired...
