RainMan,
In regards to raising the standards, the orgs can do that.
HOWEVER, colleges and universities are already doing so. Many mandates for admission to these institutions (including HBCUs) are becoming more challenging. Therefore, if the HSers don't get it together, we' ll probably see a dramatic decrease of our kids going to 4-year institutions.
Then, if that happens, all orgs will be scurrying trying to get the Talented Tenth. That's not to say that they (the "TT") aren't triflin'.
