[quote=Anonymous]I do think that students today struggle more due to the pandemic, social media and its effects, as well as not coming from schools that challenged them so they in for a rude awakening when they get to a college and lack their usual supports. I do think testing does help predict a bit more the students who can handle these environments. The test optional trend is not that helpful in an age of rampant grade inflation to help sort who can handle these pressure cooker situations. I was bewildered when I had a twenty-something complain to me that they had to work and have a job in their post college life when their billionaire friends don't have to work at all after college. This person was in the top 1 percent of family wealth. So many young people see so much what they don't have and not the other way around.[/quote]
