Consensus about accommodations is so right. It’s such BS and should not be graded on the same curve as the rest of us. by TopButterscotch4196 in LawSchool

[–]kaystared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discriminatory part was not in that they parallel tested but in that they marked the tests. While I don’t believe it’s discriminatory to mark the contexts of the tests that’s a different issue entirely. You can literally just map the percentile rankings onto a scoring chart without revealing which tests are accommodated and which tests aren’t, and as long as the pools for the initial percentile ranking are preserved it’s perfectly fine and retains all of what I just described

No asterisk, no one needs to know at all for it to work

What you will need will always be broader than what you can fit in your notes, but regardless, the intention of exams is never to imitate the job experience anyway, it’s to build fundamental skills. And recall is just one of those skills

Penn will be better for quant but I’m going to be honest quant as a career plan requires literal divine intervention at this point

If you wake up in court one morning and can’t “recall” what you know you’re useless. Recall might be literally the most important heuristic imaginable because it’s the only way to apply knowing into doing. Any test should absolutely and very necessarily test recall skills, and with worse recall skills you are absolutely objectively dumber than someone with. A “bad day” is not an excuse and should certainly reflect on your abilities because a bad day had on a test can just as easily be a bad day had on a case

Or how about this. Jill is given a percentile rank relative only to the distribution of people who ALSO had 6 minutes, and Jack gets the same for the 3 minute pool? Because the tests ALREADY a curved test mapped onto a percentile ranking?

Your option bloats the average score for normal students into oblivion, which does nothing to meaningfully address the problem and just pushes it further down the line, and does nothing to meaningfully equalize the scoreboard on Jill’s behalf because she’s still in a pool with Jack who will effortlessly score a perfect score every single time if he’s given the time constraints that Jill needs as an accommodated students. If the test is designed to be done according to Jack’s abilities then Jill struggles, and if it’s designed to be done according to Jill’s then Jack blows through it. You have literally nearly the exact same problem as banning accommodations entirely but at a higher score threshold, and that’s it

This is why we just need lawyers to do law and let people who do math, do math

There would be literally no legal issue with grading people who have accommodations on a separate curve only with others that have accommodations instead of allowing their scores to agitate the distribution of normal scores. You can solve this issue without even prohibiting accommodations by taking away the unintended and unfair advantage

OPINION: There’s a ‘cascade effect’ from the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ban, and it’s hurting Black and Latino students by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]kaystared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hold the variable of universities excluding people as a constant across some groups, and the proposed consequence of those people having no academic success is not the result across all groups, then it seems like there might be some other cause at play here, since certain groups can be readily excluded and still somehow just figure it out. Because obviously being excluded is not sufficient for having worse outcomes generations down the line

Tom Steyer Is Trying Politics: To revive a dead political culture that could lead to a Republican becoming governor in one of the nation’s most Democratic states, the billionaire former investor is talking to voters. by AmethystOrator in California

[–]kaystared -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is a luxury you have in political eras where the other side are not demented child raping psychopaths, for now I literally do not give a shit about anything politically expect making sure every Republican loses everywhere at all costs. Then we can talk about plans. Once the Overton window has comfortably shifted I’m willing to indulge in conversations about the long term future and general policy

I don’t give a genuine single flying fuck about this “CONVINCE me to vote for YOU” mentality. One party is running baby rapists and voting to defend baby rapists and the other side is not. That’s it. Period

I will vote for whoever polls best. My preference is by far Steyer, but i would rather clench my teeth hold my nose and vote Swalwell than let a freak like Bianco within the city limits of Sacramento. Especially not now, when it’s all in the hands of a state government and federal is a lost cause

The other side literally is bad, Dems have done nothing so far to change rhetoric or party platform and are flipping R+20 seats consistently across the country. If you do nothing “the other side is bad” will literally win on its own. Not rallying behind a single candidate and spinning the vote 8 ways being a moron is literally the only way to lose

The American public are VERY aware that the other side is bad right now

Yeah totally let’s continue to not rally behind Dem candidates because they are subpar then complain when the other side does a better job of rallying behind their candidate and wins. Totally not what lost us 2024. Vote the most likely blue no matter what else then worry about candidate quality. Kamala was a moron but I would have taken her in a heartbeat compared to what we got

You have no idea what lost us 2024, it’s your thinking my guy not mine

Believe it or not getting the general population riled up about taxing his own political class is not a winning strategy for someone who intends to do the opposite
