how do they measure adversity if a kid has been bullied or abused or is physically unattractive or has bad breath or talks funny or hundreds of other things that cause adversity?
and what if theres a mistake in their adversity score and the student cannot see it? how can it be fixed?

Not real adversity. Democrat adversity.
Adversity = LGBT, Female, Black, "Poor", Only the next to last version of the I Phone, bullied...…...
its not particular hard to get into state schools or community colleges. I don't see how giving people extra chance to get in based on their situations helps them actually pass and do the work. Do we then have their Professors give them higher grades because of this. This "racism of low expectations" already exists in lower education. None of this is helpful to face the real world. Where your Boss only cares about results and not that you had a hard childhood.
No kid that ever skated through the system due to his domestic hardships ever had a character problem.
I'm sure all they need is a little boost.
Now, let's factor in those rich whiteys from Hollywood who get their kids in on a rowing scholarship.
It should all balance out now.

You lost me at bad breath. Who wants to hire someone with the funk-breath?

Look, so many people just losing their s*** over this. Making a mountain out of a molehill. This is just another data point to measure.
That's right. Let them do as they wish with that sat test. I'm sure it won't lose any accreditation whatsoever.

Yes, but a KAFKA-MEETS-DILBERT kind of “data point”......
Jesus, man. What ails you??
i feel sorry for the people who are going to be customers of those professions who graduate from schools that give them a pass like with this new idea with the ACT. Schools and tests should be to test you to see if you know enough knowledge to be able to know basic or advanced skills, education, etc. if you are given a pass based on other things, thats not going to help you on your chosen profession. I dont want a doctor operating on me who didn't have enough knowledge to pass the ACT but got a pass based on some stupid socio-economic factor that has nothing to do with skills knowledge, etc.
More dummies will be passed thru the system who wont know how to add 2 plus 2.
So you get extra points if your father left you and your mother depends on welfare?
You are screwed if you live in a happy family and your hardworking parents care about your education?
Notwithstanding the clarification at post #23, the above would be "less bad" than what is actually being done.
The above takes into account individual circumstances, the new process doesn't. It just assigns an adversity score based on group statistics.

Nothing. You're the one who's losing your mind over this.
