If you look at the landscape....the approaching problem is that these kids are coming up shortly for college entry tests, and their results won’t work in their favor for entry. Parents will be standing there with a 18-year old kid that they figured would be going off to some premier university, and the SAT scores won’t work. The kids who went to private schools or non-core environments....will get the university invitation and proceed on.
For the dismal scores kid? Maybe the intent is that you invent a pre-college ‘year’ where they have to learn real skills (like it was before common core), and waste $10,000 and an entire year....upgrading yourself.
Thats why admission tests are being eliminated.
Not all private schools are doing their students any favors. The one here hands out grades in exchange for tuition. When the kids talk their parents into letting them go back to public school, they’re held back because they aren’t up to their grade level.
OTOH, a relative moved his kids to a private school this year because the public school wasn’t teaching history prior to Clinton.
