Florida approves ‘Classic Learning Test’ for college admissions

[Anonymous]

What difference does it really make? If a student wants to apply to a Florida school using the SAT/ACT they are still free to do so.

This test is just another option. Since Bright Futures scholarships only apply to in state students why should anyone not in Florida care that this test is offered?

Florida needs some help finding the Classic Learning (i) Test.

A "classical education" is the newish buzzword for evangelical christian homeschool curriculums.

That is absolutely not true. A classical education emphasizes the true, the good, and the beautiful. Yes. there may be a religious angle, but the focus is literature, history, and languages (Latin or Greek), all with a focus on developing good character. There are traditional approaches to learning grammar, including sentence diagramming. Math and science are rigorous. Evolution is taught.

Boston Latin and Washington Latin are classical schools, and many homeschoolers use classical curricula. But please continue to spread the myth that we're all a bunch of uneducated rubes.

More than anything, progressives hate the “focus on developing good character” part.

So I looked at a sample test for this today and it was REALLY HARD. So I’d encourage everyone to check it out before assuming it will be easy.
