-— , and homeschooling won’t matter as all will have to teach it in order to pass the SATs -—

Are we supposed to care about the SATs, or something?

Twink, think back to your Baltimore Catechism. The purpose of life is to know, love and serve God in this life, and to be eternally happy with Him in the next, not to get a BS degree from a BS college to get a BS job.

You may be interested to know what public school, 7th grade history class is teaching about St. Thomas Aquinas.

Or not.

Yes, it will matter to homeschooling parents and students since they will have to pass the new assessment tests, and pass the new SAT tests.

The SATs have changed and they will continue to change.

This will affect homeschooled students too. How can you not see that?

I don’t have to “think back to my catechism” as I live it daily.

Maybe we are on opposite sides in this. That whole leave it up to God thing contradicts God helps those who help themselves and I’m the latter.

Maybe you don’t have to care about the SATS but I still have one kid that needs to do well for scholarship money since we are middle class, and white, and we get nothing other than money from academics. So yeah, some of us do care about SAT scores. Not for eternity, but for college scholarship money.

So yeah some of us still care about SAT scores while also caring about eternity.
