and for far too many years, far far too many “conservatives” have gone along hook line and sinker with all the “raise teacher pay” scams...not realizing that probably 20 years ago, we crossed the rubicon into over pay under perform.
***********************
YUP! It’s the GOPe’ers like you that always want to fight todays battle tomorrow that lead us here... it was almost 30 years ago that the SAT was inflated to cover falling scores by making the max grade 2400 instead of 1600.

BTW I’ve been on the right side of this issue since I was in my earlyt 20s......I know you don’t understand that kind of ahead of the curve ability, given that you don’t have it and resent it in me.

See you in 20 years....where I am today.

For the most part “educators” are over paid and under worked. Test scores continue downward while they complain about their benefits. Clowns.

I took the SAT in 1997, and it was still 1600 max score.

Bullcrap. In 2005 a third section was added, also worth 800 points. Thirty years ago the max was 1600 and remained that way until 2005.
