[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t said athlete apply test-optional like a non-athlete could?

Also, if you are concerned before the kid has even taken a test that he won’t be able to score a 900, then there is something going on that should be addressed before he heads off for college - learning style, necessary academic accommodations, etc. [/quote]

I’m not a big fan of how standardized testing is run but someone who can’t manage a 4 digit SAT score should seriously reconsider going to college or take remedial education classes[/quote]

I would agree with this macro-aggression.[/quote]

Or, more compassionately, have him tested for ADHD. [/quote]

Yes, the student has ADHD and learning difficulties. But, he’s great at football.[/quote]

The SAT is the least of his problems then. He will likely fail out his first semester. He needs to be medicated for adhd and he needs to know what the learning issues are. I bet he has a reading issue and can’t actually read very well.

And football won’t save him unless he is a top recruit to a D1. Plenty of football players go to D3 schools and fail out of school quick.[/quote]
