[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional has made a surprising number of my students skip taking the test (or not worry about it and take it "just to see"). 10 years ago kids would prep intensely, but i rarely see that now. I realize that's not unique to FCPS, but it's an interesting variable.[/quote] I've wondered if that would happen. TBH, that sounds great. Prepping for the SAT shouldn't even be a thing. [/quote] +100 It's a GOOD outcome if kids are less focused on the SAT/ACT. [/quote] I disagree. As a former very poor yet very smart kkd, SATs and ACTs are a fantastic way to lift kids up above their circumstances, and to open doors and opportunities to poor, disadvantaged, rural and urban working class kids that they never would have dreamed possible. It does a tremendous disservice to poor, minority, and working class kids to move away from the use of SATs and ACTs in college admissions.[/quote]
