The College Board, like MCPS leadership, is made up of the old generation elite (old guard) and the education estabilshment that are watching a new generation of high performers that are not their children but are children of recent immigrants.  Imagine the College Board sanctioning prep the SAT reasoning and aptitude test (heresy).  Imagine yet the College Board rewarding the elite test prep payers with a special SAT exam session in the summer!  Guess what, thrifty recent immigrant children do not shell out five grand for a 3 week summer prep.  The old guard does this.  An in a "TIA" moment (blind spot) the College Board gives this group an advantage.  Why?  For precisely the same reason the old guard here in MCPS wants to block the advancement of these new high flying performers by eliminating pathways to give their own aan advantage and close the gap.  This phenomenon is permeating all phases of education in America.  The The children of the educational leadership are no longer the high performers and hence it's time to change policy and the rules.

The College Board blundered and they were called out.  MCPS, too, has blundered and they are being called out.
