The Case For Affirmative Action

[nbachris2788]

If we take these studies and use them to define ourselves should those who did not win the genetic lottery just drop out of school and sign up for the GRE? Or should standards be dropped for those with lower test scores? It seems dangerous to take this science and use it to chart the courses of people’s lives. Then there still is the question of how reliable are these studies? Even if the tests are designed to take into account cultural differences does this account for differences among test takers? Some may feel like they are taking a test that will determine their entire future while other may be thinking about getting this paper finished so they can move on to whatever else is really important to them. All of that goes back to culture.

<p>I agree with your point, but you must’ve meant the GED, not the GRE. Really smart people take the GRE to get into grad school.</p>
