That way a kid, and their parents, would have something a bit more reliable and objective to determine whether junior was actually on track to enter college or merely being inflated with self-esteem.<BR/><BR/>The higher education system abets the erosion of the K-12 system by making it difficult to determine whether the K-12 school's doing a decent job until they actually apply for entrance.<BR/><BR/>If the K-12 system is shirking it's responsibilities then maybe the higher ed system ought to step in before too much damage is done.
