Oh, I never said families can’t choose their own criteria. I simply made the case that the shouldn’t use test scores (or really selectivity in general) as one of the criteria, not that they can’t use it.
By all means, though, keep poking fun at my username (which I chose to name myself, so clearly it doesn’t bother me). I’ll take that as a sign that you don’t have a rebuttal to the rest of my argument.
