      This tweet makes me really appreciate Asian humility and work ethic. See, it's obvious to Asian kids that it's not enough to be smart, you also have to work your butt off.https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1004798283498295302 …

      And I, a very studious and motivated student, worked hard, did all my homework every night, but wanted to play sports, and hang with my friends and watch movies when I was done. I would have balked at test prep. Didn’t make me lazy, or dumb, or undeserving. We need to get a grip.

      You don't just expect life to hand you great things because you happened to test as gifted in the the third grade. That's not really how it works.

      You're contending that it's somehow wrong and evil that thousands of(almost entirely)Asian american kids, many of them very poor (at my school it was almost all Fujanese recent immigrants who did this) work their butts off after and on Saturday school to get into the Stuy schools

      Replying to @toad_spotted @ad_captandum2

      It’s not almost entirely Asian students, for one, as these schools are disproportionately white as well. And what I am arguing for is a system that rewards public school students who worked their butts off in public schools, not simply studied for a single test.

      I’ve not seen a single rational argument against taking top performers based on grades and state test scores. It does not make academic nor societal sense to base admission on a single test that is not even testing what students are taught in school.

      Schools vary widely in the quality of their academics. That's the point of standardized testing - to get a baseline of how students across schools compare to each other.
