The Say Irony of Affirmative Action by Prof Gail Heriot
In 2003, the Supreme Court held that the University of Michigan's law school
could substantially relax its admissions standards in order to admit a "
critical mass" of African-American and Hispanic students. Many observers

文章摘要如下：鸡头>凤尾原则是被广泛观察到的现象所支持的。同一入学新生，相比
于去与自己水平相当的大学，选择去比自己水平高很多的藤校是很不明智的。所以AA造
成对黑青年“毁人>诲人”。
如斯成立，则亚裔家长推自个的娃也须小心。如家长推了10年娃也没学会自推，那靠补
习班、凑活动经验上了藤校也是去给牛娃当分母做尾巴去了，也许不如去一州校帮助大
。学费省下来还可以投资给娃当个天使基金啥的。

尝到了甜头，知道top学校会让你的人生有完全不同的经历，好比这个家长说的：
"For a lot of Ivy League parents, the desire to give their child the same
kind of education comes from a position of love,” she says. “I’ve had
opportunities I never would have had if I hadn’t gone to Penn. Obviously, I
would like my children to have those opportunities, too.”
我作为在top 1, top 3念/念过书的学生，给各位家长说说推藤的好处吧：
1. 资源太丰富了，如果你喜欢做学术，top学校可以买得起的资源是别的学校没法比的

It is very tough for our parents to live here without much interaction with

worse is that their grandchildren will never remember how much efforts
their grandpas or grandmas have put. Neither will those kids will speak
Chinese with their grandmas or grandpas. |
