SAT tests for ALL students is ridiculous. Many will not be attending any college at all. Many belong in trade schools, and many are barely proficient in english.
If we want to serious about education then we stop telling everyone they must attend college and then subsidizing their education. While the colleges may enjoy this extra funding, they must provide remedial reading, writing, and arithmetic for years before a student is even marginally ready for college courses.
I was at a baby shower with my wife, and most of the attendees were leftists and quite a few teachers, as well.
I don’t remember the context of the conversation, but you should have heard the gasping and harumphing when I blasphemed that “not all people should go to college, you know”.
