I'm sure it's because your kid(s) did well on the standardized tests. My kids did well on the standardized tests, so I'm not a fan either. If my kids did poorly on the tests I would support test optional.
I'm an under 6 foot male who's otherwise good at basketball, but I don't support height limits in the NBA.
I support what is best for my kids. If TO is best, then I support TO. If test required is best, then I support test required. I'm not advocated what is best overall, just is what is best for my kids.
That's fair. I guess we're all like that. I just hate that my 1500+ kid has to compete with kids who scored way lower. Just like Reggie Miller's parents would have had every right to complain about basketball tryouts where shooting drills were optional.
If your kid is that great, he'll still look great.

Oh wow, they were test blind through this past year's cycle. Since test optional is new, I still bet that students who don't submit scores aren't penalized.

Who cares what you think? Start your own thread. OP wasn’t asking for opinions on TO.

The first cut of measurement is against kids from your own school and if they're submitting tests and you aren't.....
That's not true. Covid was a great excuse to get the powers that be at many schools to agree to test optional. Then there was a track record of great students and no real evidence to go back.
