I think scores should be required, period.

The "doesn't test well" is a myth. My son with special needs didn't test well until we got him diagnosed, taught him organizational skills and half-medicated (he couldn't take the optimal dose of meds due to medical concerns, but a little was better than nothing).

Are you really trying to say that kids who don’t test well are lazy or something? Take your asinine theory and shove it. [/quote]

I don’t think they’re lazy. I just don’t think they should be able to rely on litigious parents who use bulldozer tactics to knock down natural barriers that were designed to match capacity with suitable opportunity.[/quote]

I think any moderately successful adult who helps their kids in SAT prep cannot help but be struck by the absurdity of the test [/quote]

Again, the the 1,000th time, this opinion is shaped by your own experience with the test.

If you did great and your kid did great, you think it’s relevant. If you didn’t do well, and/or your kid didn’t do well, tiu end up like you, tilting at testing windmills because they are “absurd” (but tests, and group projects, and homework, and busy work in school is definitely not absurd).[/quote]

That’s such a dumb take. You can do well on the SAT and still think it’s a useless measuring stick. It’s a completely lazy response to say “oh well your kids a bad test taker” [/quote]
