Because product managers struggle to comprehensively understand value add and have instead replaced stating business goals and value add with bullying based micro managing tactics like counting lines of code and conflating other such arbitrary metrics related to code with having a 1:1 ratio of accomplishing the goal and do not respect the thought of troubleshooting, architecture design (unless you take another two days to turn it into a diagram presuming it needs to be consumed by some other party) and finding an elegant way to implement code to accomplish the goal as work because they can't see it, and they can't understand it because they are too busy collecting visual days to prove they are properly micromanaging you to take the time to learn the challenges inherent to the architecture and challenge at hand.

Does that help?

But of course if a female CEO works the system and exploits it the way men does she is highlighted online for lacking morals and ethics even though plenty of men run businesses the same way all the time and are either not even noticed for doing it or otherwise glorified.

Do you have any data at all to show that the bar is much lower? Can you please provide it.

Not every school has AP classes. In fact there's a direct correlation with AP classes existing in schools in neighborhoods where income is higher.

This is why MIT got rid of considering Subject II tests because even on top of already relatively wealthy select schools that offer AP classes only a select few of those offer classes that prep you for subject II test.

It's essentially exponentiating the amount of opportunities rich kids have to slice themselves within percents different from other rich kids at their school but overall entirely leaves behind students who weren't lucky enough to born in a neighborhood with a tax bracket that determines the schools funding.

I guess I'm saying no to your attempt to distract from the fact that you can pay alot of money to pass these tests in addition to not having proof there is esoteric terminology people growing up on poverty despite being good students might not be exposed to.

This would be obvious to you if you've ever taken the SATs.

What point are you trying to make? You should make it. Right now you are knitpicking. Even if you are right only it was that one instance it sets precedent for economic power structures graduating students inherit in the workforce for years to come.

I just don't understand your prioritization of feedback which seems to be entirely focused on distracting from the comment.
