les, boy that article makes minorities and the underprivileged look bad. i guess using legos to admit students is easier than improving the education system in underprivileged areas so that it is equal to privileged areas. i guess there isn't anything one can do to equalize the parental contribution. kids who's parents stress education have a much better base to build upon and tend to go further academically. i still remember a story from a friend who worked at check mart. a lady walked in to cash her welfare check w/ a child in her hand. she glanced at her check and said, "this check is too small, i think i need another baby." how in the world are her kids going to grow up normal - picking your parents well is a HUGE contributor to success.
