US exam cheating scandal
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
In the fall. Acceptance letters go out in the spring.
I meant age
OhI meant age
I would assume 13-14? It's entry to high school, 9th through 12th grade.
Normally the test isnt biased. But the scoring system is sometimes rigged. As far as i know it's done mostly by computers with sets of constraint (e.g. score x and you're in, or score above this year median average, etc). Unless they specifically add more weight on race and ehm... donations than the computer result is fair. In most cases the board or relevant people would simply made a letter of recommendation to bypass the computer.
In my country they ask for these specific things where i suspect will determine my admission:
Religion : which most of the time tells you which race you are
Ex school : same as above, priority for same religion with said institution
Voluntary donation : put in enough you'll get your spot regardless of your test score.
Building and facility donation : same

Aww, poor thing. She wouldn't have done it if she knew they'd get caught.
Aww...you guys, her brand!!! HER BRAND!!!!!
And I was supportive of these kids earlier, urgh!
So the kids are saying they didn't know. They take us for mugs.
I heard a rumour it's a thing in the UK too.
Yeah it's called private schools.
She hasn't posted on her Instagram for about 6 weeks. She stupidly left it open to comments for a while after this story broke, and it was a bit of a laugh reading them. I think she had a contract with Sephora, which I understand is an expensive cosmetics brand in the USA? Anyway, that's been cancelled, plus another one with the hair products brand Tresemmé. I can guarantee she'll be more upset about that than she is about losing her college place.
I find it hilarious that you can get a college place on the basis of your rowing prowess when you've never rowed.
Funny thing is that I had a discussion about rowing with my colleague whose daughter is in high school. He's been trying to get interested in rowing simply because of ease of college admission...but she hates the sport.
That too...
But I heard there are admissions tutors for sale at certain universities
Oxford (not sure which college) and UCL, apparently.
Is she an actress or something?
Influencer.
I mean, when you pay off the coach and the admissions people, anything can happen.
You spelled cnut wrong.
Forgive my ignorance but what's that?
Someone a certain group of people will aspire to be like, who gets paid to promote products on social media. In her case, she's appealing to teenage girls who are interested in being pretty, slim and fashionable.
Thanks. Didn't know that's now a job .
Has been for a while. Think Beckham but without any discernable talent.
The admissions tutors being for sale is a new one but influence of getting kids into Oxford etc isn't new. My History teacher at school went to Oxford and he said he knew people that had no business going there and wouldn't have done without the influence of their parents.
I don't mind influencers who promotes fitness, training and living healthy, but I really hate those who only have their looks (and often a wealthy/famous parent) that end up becoming rich and famous for posting pictures of themselves in a club or at the beach. I reserve special hatred for the unfunny idiots on YouTube who pander to kids with moronic and exploitative videos where they do shit pranks or totally summon ghosts you guys, it's super scary!
I think it's ironic how someone who's never done anything of value can pretend they have a brand.
I'm going to start a brand. First off, I'd like to endorse Campbell's Chunky Soup.
Her window of opportunity is very small. By the time she's in her mid-20s, she'll be too old to be relevant to the young teenagers.
His wife!

I love the Onion. Just now it thought me that Moby is claiming in his book he dated Natalie Portman and she now denies that happened and said she remembers it as him being a creepy old man who acted inappropriately.
He then tried to refute it by posting this picture from their time together
As they say on the internets, seems legit.
Yeah... between that and the Boren scandal, ugh...
At least we still have Lincoln (at least until Garrett gets fired...).
Felicity Huffman gets 14 days in prison. A bit harsh imo. I'd have expected a big monetary fine.

She’s lucky, it should have been longer.
So she gets to have 2 weeks of rest away from stress in a minimum security facility and pay 30k. Not bad.
Well, plus 250 hours community service and another year on supervision, plus the public humiliation of it all. I think the prison sentence is just a token - she'll get processed in, serve a few days there and be out again.

Nice though that this lady got a 5 year prison for trying to send her 6 year old son to a better public school he wasn’t entitled to go to because it was the wrong district.

Real justice. Blacks sent down for less all the time.
From your ow article, she got 5 years in prison for the school case, and a different sentence for the drug case.
You're right. I missed it. Blame the alcohol.
That's a travesty. The judge needs a foot up his ass. Feck.
