That was a great piece!  I encourage everybody to read.  Bowman is now my favorite scholar-athlete from his class.

Recently my town's high school got flagged for having 30% of its graduates qualify for extra time on the SAT.  It's yet another example of a policy intended to help the disadvantaged get exploited by the advantaged.  Akin to the emotional support animals we encounter on airplanes.

I so relate.  I have a form of dyslexia, too, both influenced and exacerbated by ADD.
My reading comp, starting in elementary school, was a massive test outlier,
and Stanford asked me to retake.
This is why I sound so grateful for my Stanford experience.
Dean Fred changed my life.
