[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a firm opinion on SAT vs grades, but I do think the tendency of education bureaucrats to succumb to trends in the absence of evidence and common sense is really disheartening. I mean, decades of reading instruction that didn’t work; and trendy approaches like “inquiry based learning” for math that also fail. It seems like these days everything drives ed policy EXCEPT what kids & young people actually need to learn specific content and skills. Which yes, is the point of education. So in this light, I think suddenly doing away with the SAT based on basically a trend in ed policy is a bad idea. [/quote]
