Elite High School Ended Merit-Based Admissions. It Was A Complete Disaster Davis ## Reporter 05/26/22 (Thu) 18:20:56 70447d No.296556

Students at San Francisco’s Lowell High School received significantly more failing grades at the end of the fall 2021 semester following the school board’s decision to end merit-based admissions.

The San Francisco Board of Education voted to end merit-based admissions in February 2021 and switched to a lottery-based admission system at the beginning of the fall 2021 semester. Lowell High freshmen admitted through the lottery program received three times the amount of Ds and Fs than those of the previous two years, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

Nearly 25% of Lowell High’s 620 freshmen students received a D or an F in the fall 2021 semester, according to The Chronicle. Only 7.9% of freshmen in Fall 2020 and 7.7% of freshmen in Fall 2019 received a D or an F.

Lowell High principal Joe Ryan Dominguez attributed the number of failures to a wide variety of variables rather than the admissions process alone, according to The Chronicle.

At my university they started with the class after me taking in "interesting" students rather than ones with strong credentials. It most certainly did make the incoming class a lot more interesting, but it also came with a noticeably higher rate of students who either failed or transferred out because they weren't really up to the scholastic standards.

There's a balance in there somewhere. The class after that one they went hardcore back to standardized testing and all that, and that class was full of boring underperformers who didn't amount to much more than looking good on paper. This proved to be an insightful experience for me when I was later in life tasked to do technical interviews for new hires. I really found myself leaning toward the "interesting" people, but it really does require a demonstration of basic competency if you want to have to work with these people and get shit done.

HOW TO END MASS SHOOTING IN AMERICA

FIRST, THE PROBLEM:

If the US government and politicians really care about American lives, both Congress AND States will legislate into law a bill that allows law enforcement to disobey stand down orders of any kind during a mass shooting. Any cop can disobey orders in order to save more lives. Also, if stand down orders are given, not only will the orders be made public WITH NAMES BEHIND THE ORDERS MADE PUBLIC but also investigated for criminal negligence and manslaughter. OK? That will end the mass shootings pretty fucking quick.

Returning the FBI to investigating communists would be better. It would have to investigate itself.
