What do SAT scores have to do with fleecing the public?

The debunking link is the headline link of the post itself. The link I referenced is the phony-number link being spread.

I'll repeat the debunking link here:

The use of SAT/ACT scores is a deliberate fraud.

Only 4% of the students in Wisconsin take the SAT or ACT, on a voluntary basis, if it is required by the college of their choice. Meaning that only the top students take it.

In Georgia, they try to get everyone to take it and end up with about 74% of students taking it with the resulting lower averages.

This site is explaining this disparity in test scores.

The whole “good school” thing is a myth. Good schools are the way they are because of the students and the parents, not the schools and the teachers. If you took these kids and kids from a poorly performing school and switched them (but left the teachers in place), the test results would be the same. Teachers are mostly babysitters and bureaucratic test-givers. It is past time for government schools to go the way of other relics from the past.

The other un-PC thing people won’t talk about is why student test results are better the closer the state is to the Canadian border. People like to claim it’s the weather. Um, yeah.

They are saying only five states don’t have collective bargaining and they are the five worst states for ACT/SAT scores.

They say Wisconsin is #2 in the nation. It’s a lie, there is no correlation between ACT/SAT scores and collective bargaining, but this is how the dishonest left uses propaganda.

The only real barometer of lower test scores....is that states with lower test scores have higher percentage of minority students than states with higher test scores.

You never get a lib to admit...but it is a fact
