[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard an admissions director say recently that they were hearing from kids who were refusing to submit scores as a protest against standardized testing. Pretty brave, considering that those same kids turned out to have good scores. [/quote] What exactly are these kids protesting? The test is one piece of information among many pieces of information. FWIW, I don't think that the argument about the test being biased against black and Hispanic kids holds much water, especially for the math section. You either know the math, or you don't. If you have poor immigrant ESL Asian kids who can score 700+ on the math section, how is that biased against disadvantaged kids? I get that verbal sections would be tough for ESL kids or kids who grew up without educated parents, but again, this part can be explained.[/quote]
