As I say, we are not born equal, but we are all born valuable and we all have limits to abilities.
I.Q. tests would not deny someone entrance to college. It isn't used as a screening test for entrance to anything. It shows the areas of strength and weakness in a persons ability to think, solve, reason, access. compare and learn.
In Austria, only the upper portion of the class scholastically are allowed to go to college and it is paid for by the government.
I keep thinking we are doing it wrong here. Too many people live off their student loans and never really learn much.. They keep getting money whether they do well or not. I think that sometimes we encourage people to scam the system when it comes to education.

And in today's world they ask for the loan to be forgiven because they cannot afford to live their lifestyle and repay the loans.
I did not mean to hijack the thread intent....but being one who religiously paid their loan back, it is difficult to not comment...it does have a soothing effect (about all one can get)
