We are now reaping the seeds we have sown by letting liberals dictate education in this country. This is evidence of the "dumbing down" of our children thanks to liberal policies. We shouldn't put so much stress on our children as to force them to do homework, take tests and act responsibly and respectfully towards teachers and fellow classmates.

I was not permitted to use a calculator either, and was required to turn in my math worksheet with the test. I didn't do that great, around 1100, but it was good enough to get me into my first choice of school (UNC-CH)

I couldn't agree more with this, except for the homework part. My kids are buried in homework because it's easy for the teacher to assign it, and requires not much effort on their part.

These low SAT scores don't surprise me in the least, and will result in an increasing pool of democrats.
