Woke up this morning to find the whole first page full of SAT. Wall to wall. It's nauseating.
Don't kids have better things to do? TikTok dances, garage bands, or peaceful coups against cafeteria pizza? We don't need more bubbles filled in with No. 2 pencils. We need freedom ... freedom from test scores, freedom from AP courses, freedom from grades. |

| Well you don’t have to go to college either. It’s your freedom. |

| I’m glad colleges are moving back toward requiring the testing. With all the ridiculous grade inflation going on, this can be a differentiator. Not a huge fan of the superscore approach because I think that leads to the problem you’ve identified. |

| A standardized test is far better than going by inflated grades and faked extra-curriculars |

What whole first page?
Can you understand that we all look at different news? National tests are the only way to accurately compare the academic achievement of kids from different school systems. You are extraordinarily ignorant on multiple levels. Do better. |

I want the US to align itself with the rest of the world and only consider academics. Test scores should be a lot more central to the applications than they are now.

You are not required to do anything. Be free! |

| Better to use test scores than to hand out admission spots to jackasses who had their mommy start a fake charity (that is abandoned once the kid is admitted). |

Yes, acceptances should be based on the number of body piercings you have. |
