[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entitled parents sending their kids to SAT prep courses perpetuates inequities and only serves to widen the racial achievement gap. Wealthier students have unfair access to test preparation resources overall, which leads to unearned higher scores. This only heightens unearned white privilege and diminished access to education for BIPOCs.[/quote] Sorry the internet has made high quality test prep available to all. Glad to see TO becoming less prevalent. Only valid reason for it was closures in 2020-2021. [/quote] Not quite sure what you mean by “valid,” but a common reason for being test optional is “we would rather enroll rich kids with mediocre scores than poor or middle class kids with great scores.” Chicago and Bates were TO well before 2020, and they’ll stay TO, because they need the money. And now a whole bunch of similar schools will stay TO for the same reason. [/quote]
