That's because we aren't forking enough money over to the teachers unions.

If they’re not ready, don’t let them in.
What’s the problem?

Confirms it. The SAT is RACIST!

“The scores can and must change.”
Sounds like a plan is in the works to try to get some easier questions on the test so the scores improve.

If 43% are “college ready” that means that 25% of the graduates are actually able to *read* their diplomas.

Here’s a quick lesson in how to raise scores.
Throw out all fancy-dancy, education school ideas on education.
Find 1950’s textbooks on math, English, history, and government.
Use those and require memory work, home work, and tracking.
Your scores will sky rocket.

I’d put my high school diploma up against the average BA, today. To say nothing of the 4 years of Marxist claptrap.

Stop focusing on scores, How is there self esteem? /s
That is one of the things that bothers me about all the self esteem garbage. If you can't functionally read, write, and compute mathematical problems, you know it. What does that do for your self esteem?

If 43% are “college ready”...
So, what does that make my 1969 High School Diploma worth ?
Maybe the equivalent of a Masters Degree ?

Remember the SOTU address where Obama took control of student loans? I cringed.

The SAT is RACIST! Tragically, that is the narrative that will be spouted, because they've been spouting that bilge for decades, now.

Did you ever notice they never report the results by “public” schools, Private schools and Charter schools? I wonder why?
To: neverdem
