[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, grow up. You've been try to shout down everybody who disagrees with you for ten pages now.

Arguably, the SAT does test content, what should be easy math and reading content for college-bound high school juniors and seniors.  Many SAT takers need to go back to review algebra and geometry they took two, three even for years earlier to ensure that they can score high.  SAT reading is pitched at around an 8th grade level.

Yet one Banneker booster after another comes here to holler that the test is racist, superfluous, outmoded, ossified and on its way out.  What's the goal?  To let DCPS off the hook in failing to prepare the Banneker students to ace what should be an eminently manageable test for the cream of the DCPS HS crop, at least where AA and Latino students are concerned.  Frankly, BASIS' scores for AA kids put Banneker to shame.[/quote]

I know plenty of AA kids who rocked the SAT.

They did not go to DCPS.

DCPS is the problem. [/quote]

I know plenty of AA kids who did poorly on the SAT.

They do not go to DCPS.

Failed logic and anecdotes are useless at proving anything about DCPS’ ability to prepare students versus other school districts.[/quote]
