Embrace reform of #SHSAT for admission to the @NYCSPHS, say nine Asian American alumni. Took a while but our op-ed is finally out. So please RT! h/t @CrainsNewYork #AAPI https://t.co/glNM5f0pKs

"One-third of the children of the very richest families scored a 1300 or higher, while less than 5 percent of middle-class students did" #SAT #SHSAT #merit #wealth

“I think people in the West, people outside of China, don’t understand how hard it is to be a child [there],” said Qian. “The youth are dealing with a lot of disappointment and pent-up exhaustion and resentment from working so hard.” #SHSAT https://t.co/3aRZQlZ76o

Singapore, China, South Korea and Taiwan have taken steps to reduce the education arms race.
"hypercompetitive learning environments as ossifying society along class lines, with wealthy families pouring money into test prep..."

@AppleCountry3 That would be a good essay prompt for a student to answer.

Caltech will take step to reduce discrimination against large numbers of low income students who attend schools that don't offer calculus, physics or chemistry. #SHSAT

Without means/end distinction, Coalition for TJ and #SHSAT plaintiffs themselves engage in failure to be colorblind when they allege racially disparate impacts on AAPI.

Bad idea for court to adopt circular and paradoxical logic like this. 10/

In TJ and #SHSAT Discovery cases, conservative legal group PLF tried to take the first step in turning high admission rates for Asian Americans into immutable racial quotas.

4th circuit just rejected Coalition for TJ arguments.

Since zero Black students were admitted to Staten Island Tech in 2022, PLF's theory is that #SHSAT reformers cannot demonstrate a disparate impact on Black students at Staten Island Tech because their baseline last year is at rock bottom. #ObviouslyWrong 9/

Due to “vicious cycle of private education that increases the burden for parents and subsequently erodes fairness in education,” S.Korea will remove notoriously difficult “killer questions” that give unfair advantage to “private education cartels” #SHSAT

The #NYCDOE @NYCSchools constructed an election scheme that removed all Black & Hispanic parents from the Citywide Council on High Schools

All. Not a single Black parent. Not one Hispanic parent

The DoE must fix this

Amazing distillation of the economics of test prep companies: "This is our modus operandi. We are in the business of selling dreams.”

It was moving to witness 500 students from Springfield Gardens HS Campus walk out of school & march to Catherine & Count Basie MS, Redwood MS, & P.S. Q993 in D28 to support their neighborhood schools & voice opposition to another proposed @SuccessCharters takeover. #StudentPOWER

“Democracies cannot function when entire groups of people are insulated from the realities of those they don’t understand. By reframing the issue as an urgent threat to democracy, we may become more motivated to change.”
