Garbage in, garbage out.
Oh well, there’s the media, education, and politics for those types.

And so it goes. And goes.

I hate to say it, but I’m glad I do not have grandchildren. My kids are/were dearly loved and did fine in life. But the possible grands? Brings me to tears.

*shrug* simply means that more idiots not ready for college will get in and rack up debt and drop out.

Liberals are not doing any of these kids any favors by this.

SATs are IQ tests. A simple ploy to make it harder for whites, Asians and Indians.

Well, attending class and having to listen to lectures and having to study, are all stressful.

Why not just hand the students their degrees and be done with it. Nobody that hires those students will ever know the difference.

Poor babies. Life is full of stress, get used to it. Or stay in Daddy’s basement sucking your thumb.

MIT is bringing it back. I wonder which school is considered “better?”

MIT just did the opposite. Seems that they figured out that admitting minorities only to get points with feds and fill-out pictures in their recruiting brochures isn’t worth ruining the lives of those same minorities when they flunk out...particularly given that they’re far from idiots and would have done fine in second tier schools.

Do they have mid-terms and finals anymore?

Those can be much more stressful than an SAT.

There is another consequence of colleges and universities lowering the standards in pursuit of "equity". Employers have no confidence in the degrees conferred. They will insist that applicants sit for 3rd party testing and certification against a standard examination as a prerequisite to approval for a position.

I've been doing software engineering since 1983 over a variety of systems. Multiple operating systems, 50 languages, multiple disciplines including device drivers, data communications, databases, user interfaces, complex scientific calculations and digital signal processing. When selected to perform remediation of some security software for the Army Corps of Engineers, I needed to bring a government approved "8570" series cert to be granted admin access on the network. I studied for the TIA Security+ exam and passed it ($349 out of pocket for the exam). It's good for 3 years. I need to do some continuing education or it will expire in April 2023.

I just passed 30 years with my current company and age 65. If I planned to stay significantly longer, a CISSP and/or CEH would be on my "to do". As it stands, I'll probably just do the CySA+ and PenTest+ to enhance my skills as a "cyber warrior".

The cert programs/exams serve as a sort of "exit exam" to assure an employer that you can perform a defined set of skills. The degree programs tainted with "equity" no longer attest to that capability.

I’m reasonably certain that China and India still use standardized testing for college admissions. That’s why they will own the future.
