The College Board plans to assign an adversity score to every student who takes the SAT to try to capture their social and economic background, jumping into the debate raging over race and class in college admissions.
This new number, called an adversity score by college admissions officers, is calculated using 15 factors including the crime rate and poverty levels from the student’s high school and neighborhood. Students won’t be told the scores, but colleges will see the numbers when reviewing their applications.
Several college admissions officers said they worry the Supreme Court may disallow race-based affirmative action. If that happens, the value of the tool would rise, they said. “The purpose is to get to race without using race,” said Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Mr. Carnevale formerly worked for the College Board and oversaw the Strivers program.
>Collegboard, the company that creates the SAT Exams and Colleges, are already planning to get around a future Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action

Same could be said of the entire world, Americans inventend, then some retard copied it... some folks might have made it better in some aspect, like some types of cars or airplanes, but the people who invented it were Americans. It's all just a copy of what Burgers invented last month
fuck you mistakes happen just do your job shitty fuckind mod

In general I'd be for that kind of thing if you could actually correlate an "adversity score" to academic achievement. So if you get, say, a 1600 but your adversity score is 8/10 or whatever, if your adversity score were 0/10 then it could be statistically calculated that your score would have been 1750 or something, which would be reflected in future academic activity. Obivously that's not going to happen; instead it'll probably just end up sending more poor Asians to good universities.
I would file lawsuits over it, they're doing the same shit they did here with college, there's a test each year and you need to file in data of your economic status, depending on it, they use it to prop up poor people instead of intelligent rich kids.
you can filter the water right? And wouldn't all drinks, being majority water have flouride in them as well? Like, even cow milk is mostly water
>Milk is mostly water. Milk is made of 85 to 95 percent water. The rest is protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and other nutrients you would think that some kind of filtration would be possible. Or at the very least you could distill it, but I hear that distilled water is bad for you for some reason

Wanted to know more about de Blasio so I started reading his wikipedia page. Turns out he supported the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). Even went as far as traveling to Nicaragua for 10 days to help distribute food and medicine during the Nicaraguan Revolution.
there is an intense housing crisis right now that no one in DC wants to address because boomers based their entire wealth on the property value of their homes. So while a slashing to real estate prices would be great for younger folks looking to make a family, it would cause a lot of boomers to freak about their loss of the value of their home.
A lot of it is foreign money though, isn't it? The era of cheap money allowing people to buy and rent out second or third houses is ending, last I've heard.

Somali piracy, which stopped being an issue years ago.
something as right wing and/or funny as you can get started watching owen benjamin, nigger is crazy but fun to listen to heard about e. michael johnson but don't know anything about him
Oh? I thought it was Chinese, Russian, Saudi etc. money driving up the prices in the major cities, with knock-on effects elsewhere. Also a lot of cheap domestic money buying up houses as a speculation, I suppose.

We need 'someone else' added here since that polls higher than most candidates.
>I thought it was Chinese, Russian, Saudi etc. money driving up the prices in the major cities, with knock-on effects elsewhere. well that would make sense, but not just chink/rooskie/dunecoon but all of the worlds top 1% probably has a place to crash in the top major america cities. But I wouldn't think it would be significant enough to effect real estate at large.

There was a partridge on my orchard close to my house, breakfast flew away
is the US swinging right, or is it just a handful of spergs? i have marginal hope for 2020 because I think some people are finally unfucking themselves.
I just wish that we could get pics of people building these. Most won't bother to level the ground, much less put in an adequate foundation and build a failure. That or they will give up and hire a contractor who will charge them $10k and then they'll have a $25k storage shed.

>go into debt up to your eyeballs Not really. This would actually more accurately apply to millenials since they fell the hardest for "loans are just free money lol! what do you mean I need to pay it back?? Bernie pls help!" >don't worry, property is an investment that never loses I've never heard anyone say this >Which causes homes that were built in 1923 with cracked foundations, leaking roofs, bad wiring, and broken windows to still sell for 125k If someone buys that they are either stupid or have money to fix it up and actually have a desire to do so. A little financial responsibility would go a long way with younger people today instead of just crying it's someone elses fault.
