I thought Bill Clinton was a great Education President.

Pray tell, how is it that the test scores were higher under both of the Bush Presidencies than under Clinton?

Haven't kept up with the ACT and SAT tests since my kids were taking them.

Is this real, or have they added 100 points to the score for writing your name (or "X", as the case may be)?

OK, I'll be mean. How much has the percent of homeschooler's taking them increased?

Don't bet on it. The education trolls must make sure they appear to be doing something positive... besides drug boys and tell them how to "feel"!

American high school students marginally less stupid than originally thought.

sat and act score changes should be heavily discounted; these tests IIRC have been changed a couple of times (i.e. made easier to get higher scores on) in the last 20 years or so.

"The ACT is more attractive to some students because it focuses more on material covered in high school classes than on general ability."
