I am actually quite intelligent.
The issue with a provision like that is that it fails to deal with any of the problems with colleges today. Due to flaws in how the US Education system is set up, higher performing students are usually among those that come from more successful, and wealthier families. These families are generally the families that already have the money to finance the college expenses of their children without help from the government. Meaning, the people who can already afford college are now getting it for free, and the people who cannot afford college are still unable to afford it. This results in an increase of income inequality.
In addition, the use of a percentile or rank instead of a raw measure as a qualification discourages students from helping each other when another student is struggling, and rewards students who engage in activity that disrupts the learning environment for other students.
Well it’s by graduating class not by everyone in the entire state
So people who go to struggling schools /districts only get compared to people in that school/district
This is the most salient point, imo. If it were the top 20% from across the state, then Solid’s criticisms would have some merit.
