"Is the SAT racist?"Indirectly....YES.....how you may ask? if little Sally and little Johnny attend Greenwich High School in Greenwich, CT.....do you think for one moment they are going to score LOW on the SATs? no way....Joe....but if little Sally and Little Johnny attended Roosevelt High School in Roosevelt, LI, they are more likely to score lower since the student to teacher ratio is quite high there at that school which in conclusion leads lower grades. Here are 2 examples of suburban high schools, one where parents throw money at public school education because they are capable of doing so and and another school where the parents are more on financial assistance and the school budget can not meet the demands of the students because the parents don't have the financial means to approve expanding budgets year after year. So to answer your question, yea....one can study and one can prepare, but if the person came from an EDUCATIONAL deprived background to begin, they are less likely to be able to pass the exam...do you get it? |
