Standardized tests like the ACT are culturally biased. Say you are a very intelligent person brought up as a tribesmen in Africa or even less extreme English simply isn't your first language. You are going to at least be much slower on the English and reading comprehension tests. One would think that an intelligent person brought up in an American school system would tend to do better than the average, but there are even less extreme biases that one could imagine.

valedictorian award
You don't get a trophy or nothing, dude. There ain't no valedictorian award. Being valedictorian is the award.
It's more like an honor or status.
I also need to see the ACT before I comment.

What if the reading/comp section was given in the native tongue?

Didnt realize someones accent represents a certain culture level. I know extremely well spoken individuals who arent smart at all.

Where I'm from that's what people say about southern accents. Accent doesn't mean anything when it comes to intelligence. You should get rid of that Stanford avi.

then you're not paying attention to life
accents are heavily related to culture
you can't hear a yat accent? a midwest accent? a cajun accent? a new england accent? hell even nola and br hood have different accents

I would prefer for folks to continue to associate heavy Southern accents with subpar intellect. The satisfaction from embarassing those who assume I'm a mental midget based off of my accent is too damn good to let go.
