Not sure how you can look at this data, ostensibly be interested in either meritocracy or equality, and want to move away from standardized tests. It's the subjective measures that are most slanted in favor of the rich kids.https://t.co/r4rNYBnrfK pic.twitter.com/S8w8HQ0yz9

I've been saying this for years. Standardized test scores are only moderately correlated with parental income, and most of that correlation is due to genetics, rather than to a causal effect of income. It's easy for rich parents to buy extracurriculars and other fluff factors, but all the money in the world can't make a kid of mediocre intelligence score 1550+ on the SAT.
