The SAT subject tests are 1-hour tests distinct from the general SAT, on subjects such as precalculus, foreign languages, and the natural sciences. They were meant to test what is typically covered in a high school course, whereas Advanced Placement exams test the material in a freshman college course. I think it's too bad subject tests are going away, but standardized tests are politically incorrect nowadays because of their "disparities". White supremacists have cleverly engineered exams on which Asians get the highest scores on average /s.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I have been in education for more than 30 years. A high school diploma these days in any inner city/low ses area is a 6th grade education when I was in school. The average student walking into my high school has a 3.9 grade level in reading and a 4.0 grade level in math. And they all want to go to college despite the fact that they cannot read, write or do math at grade level and don’t like reading or studying. Most don’t like school. Perrrrrrrfect college candidates.

Now we drop the SAT that correlated highly with IQ and success in college; probably because it is raycis or something. Sure, that will help (/sarc).

College, the new 8th grade.

The Chinese graduate more students with real engineering degrees than we have in colleges and we remove admission standards because they hurt the less abled’s feelings. What could possibly go wrong?
