[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Facts:

1. Kids in 2021 DO NOT CARE as much about the SAT's as kids twenty years ago

2. Colleges and Universities in 2021 DO NOT CARE as much about the SATs as they did twenty years ago.

3. Those of you holding onto a test score as a measure of one's intellectual ability or academic prestige are HIGHLY outdated and holding onto antiquated ideas of what scholarship looks like in the new normal.

It's no secret that your points #1 and #2 result from desperate wokesters trying to delegitimize SATs because of the chronic underperformance of black American kids. [/quote]

Not the poster you're responding to, but there's more than a kernel of truth in the above statement.  It's not quite that simple though.  Unfortunately, it's just not the wokesters who are trying to delegitimize SATs, ed leaders who don't want to support the type of "discriminatory and elitist" ability sorting that needs to be done young to ensure that far more AA kids can score high eventually are the main culprits.

Our hyper egalitarian public-school teaching and learning culture is catching up with us as a society.  Hint: Ed leaders in Asia aren't remotely squeamish about ability grouping/academic tracking in their government schools, particularly for math.  Neither are the adults recruiting and training young athletes the world over.[/quote]
