Topic: Students

10-second review: In what way should students never be identified? “A child should never be known by a number or a test score….”

Comment: Which is about what happens with the SAT. Don’t have a score of 1100? Then you can’t get into engineering at Penn State. “We’re sorry, but we only take the most intelligent students at Villanova University.” [Actual letter to a student from the Dean of Engineering at Villanova University.] Next number, please?
