One hundred percent correct. "Science supports" is a buzz phrase used by morons to support positions that they could not critically defend if their lives depended on it. Usually, the morons understand neither the issues at hand, nor the "science" to which they vaguely allude. Certain they can't identify the studies nor have any understanding of their contents other than some vague impression based on the misleading or incorrect characterizations from a talking head on CNN or MSNBC. But that is hardly a surprise given the left's 50 year war on excellence and standards. What used to be a F is now a C, what used to be a C is now an A-. And the idiot getting an A- minus thinks he has accomplished something.

Democratic policies made collapsing standards inevitable. Once colleges allowed in kids who were not really qualified in the interest of diversity, the schools had to make sure the students would not fail out, as failing our would disprove the premises underlying their policies. Thus, what was an F became a C and so on. Add to that how lazy the vast majority of modern kids are and the modern day policy of reducing "stress" on kids, and standards were destined to fall even more. On top of that, the push for "equality" means that the kids who work 10 times as hard as someone else are not going to get 10 times the rewards, so why bother working that hard? All of that contributes to a left-wing cancer destroying excellence.

Economic inequality keeps out the undesirables ,not everyone can afford prep school 85% of all those accepted are just that and yes there are public high schools with academics that equal preps, same with Ivy’s.Its the system bro.

One of the most rooted forms of systemic racism is academic elitism.
Of course it's shrouded in a cloak adorned with slogans of diversity, equality, and inclusion, but the business model is scarcity. I don't know anyone that is actually paying for education. They are paying for a cultural experience, social indoctrination, and accompanying status into a quietly closed network designed to preserve and extend generational wealth. Paying for that privilege has historically been "worth it". Extending access to ~15% of students from economically diverse backgrounds only reinforces the business model making the remaining 85% more scarce, and therefore more valuable to those who can and do willingly pay for that privilege/advantage/status.

By the way, I am not throwing stones at this model. Parents should want their children to do better than they did, and most families absolutely try to give their kids every advantage they can. It's why we move into towns with "a good school system", and choose prep schools for "the great education", drive kids 85 minutes to "elite" sports teams, ultimately pay ridiculous prices for Ivy and NESCAC branded colleges. We think it's worth it and will put our kids on a pathway to success. No one wants the system to be fair.

Yup 100% sums it up-above. It isn't like the private high schools or colleges are going to lower their prices. As long as parents with money are willing to pay then that is the system and nothing will change. It is what it is. No hope for middle or lower class people for sure.
