[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think they trigger the other group [/quote]

I am firmly in the test required camp and i am triggered.  The quantum leap in the stupidification of america with test optional was disturbing.  The students became so dumb all of a sudden.  That a society would do this to themselves is mind boggling.

If an alien race came along and wanted to subjugate us, this i how they might start.

If someone else did this to us we would be at war.[/quote]
I'm on the other end. There needs to be more accountability on American schools. Why are thousands of kids in AP classes, learning nothing, and getting into top colleges? Make AP exam scores required, make the exams more difficult, and force schools to submit their ap average scores for each exam. GPA can, used to be, and should be the best predictor of success. High schools need to be pressured to curve to an average Gpa of 3.0 and eventually 2.0. 4.0s should be rare and standardized exams need to weigh your final score in a course. The SAT is a waste of time, and only the focus, because the kids are so dumb from the schools that pass 100s to anyone who completes the assignment.[/quote]
