[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger child is more capable than my older where STEM work goes and would undoubtedly have done well on the Walls entrance exam. Younger scored in 700s on the SAT freshman year for CTY. Older never qualified for CTY. Falling standards are obvious if you have your eyes open. There aren't as many Walls students who can handle the most advanced math taught as there were pre-Covid. From what we hear, kids don't score as high on APs overall or take as many on average. There aren't as many seniors cracking Ivies and top SLACs. There are (minor) discipline issues in classes that we didn't hear about before. Humanities assignments get dumbed down a bit comparatively, because there aren't as many advanced humanities students. If you don't want to believe it, fine, but this is what's happening. Hint: Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, Brown etc. haven't brought back the SAT post Covid for no reason. [/quote]

Thanks for confirming that you don't have evidence. I also think it's pretty gross to call children "not as sharp" but even worse when you have nothing but a feeling and hearsay to back that up.

The proportion of students failing to pass the Geometry and Algebra II PARCC rose significantly from 2018-2019 to 2023-2023. The figures were 17% and 15% and now they're 33% and 26%. (Algebra I numbers weren't reported in 2018-2019.) [/quote]
