[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educators hate the College Board and the choke hold they have on people who don’t understand what they’ve done to education.

Listen to educators instead of championing the company trying to turn education into one high stakes test after another, like in other countries. [/quote]

Just about every other country does this and it for good reason.
Some of these countries even have race based affirmative action but they still base admissions decisions largely on test scores.[/quote]
American parents would lose their minds at the tracking that happens early on in other countries. Tests determine whether you even get your access certain tracks in what we call middle and high school. No way off the track if you aren’t deemed talented in STEM at 12 years old.

Even in the arts, you get a few seconds of a judge’s time to determine if you’re allowed to go to art school.

There’s a reason wealthy people in other countries do whatever they can to get their kids into US and Canadian colleges. [/quote]
