Not to mention grades are about doing the work and having the discipline and organizational skills. There are plenty of people who are very intelligent, but lack both of those. US testing metrics (is that the right word?) are heavily flawed. This isn’t even bringing up the racist aspect of most institutions, including educational being headed up and formulated by white people.
Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 months agoYou ever see the people who get As in school take an aptitude test? They don’t always get high scores.

I’m curious. Do you think “educational” being headed up and formulated by a black person would increase scores overall? Just within black children scores?

And aptitude tests themselves are flawed and usually only measure certain quantities or qualities of intelligence, and are not really a great marker for general intelligence (this is including IQ tests which have a very racist origin and history)
