Are you surprised? The QOP is proudly racist.

Where did he suggest that the dropouts were due to the teachers being black? Is there another clip?

At about the 50 second mark.

SATs going digital and are an hour shorter. They are saying it's less stressful and easier to access.

Easier to access?
Its paper and pencil.

I saw that last night but I didn't read up on it.
Does this mean kids can take it sitting at home on their computers? Or do they still have to go to a "testing center"? I am leery of anything a human can't monitor in regards to HS kids taking tests that have a huge bearing on their future/s.

[pdub]

Testing center.
Hence why I don't get why it's more accessible.
Isn't paper easier to come by than laptops? Maybe not these days.

I'm guessing the computers will have their wifi completely disabled ( though i'm sure there will be some kids who figure out how to reverse this ). Also allowed into the tests are calculators.

Are countries with the most successful/intelligent students making things easier for everyone to be successful?

[MICHHAWK]

the young people should skip college and go into the skilled trades.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

If they are still being taken at a testing center then I don't get the "more accessible" aspect either.
As you alluded to, seems more costly - and possibly a bigger margin for mistakes to be made, technical glitches, and easier to cheat.
As far as calculators, unless the same scientific calculators are distributed to EVERY person taking the SAT, then how fair is it to allow them?

I agree SOME/MANY young people should but not "the".

Yeah, agree. College isn't for everybody. I loved my college experience at KU, but sometimes I wish I wasn't sitting at a computer all day. My neighbors son went one year at K-State, decided he didn't really care for college, so got on as an apprentice as an electrician 7-8 years ago. He now makes close to $100k/year and he's only 32.

If I could go back and talk to my 18 year old self, I’d tell him to be an electrician.

I share this too often but it applies here.
After my 2 years at KU I worked on the trading floor at the CBOE. I stayed there about 15,16,17 years.
I learned a "trade" (no pun intended) that was 100% independent from what I learned at KU.
I occasionally share that at one point I was a clerk in a trading pit in which a guy who graduated with distinction from Cornell University, earned a degree in engineering physics, received his Masters' and Ph.D from the Courant Institute of Mathematics, and I thought taught applied math at M.I.T. but it was at Brown University - taught me some advanced trading strategies. This moron (me) was able to learn and absorb some highly advanced concepts because of the hands on teaching he gave me. He was a very successful trader. All that being said, there was another guy who traded in the same trading pit who was a High School drop out - and they were equally financially successful - because the High School drop out learned a "trade".

Yeah, that would be my absolute limit on attending K. state as well.
Once I fucked my way through every female with a full set of teeth……

Hey Illanoy, I know you may be confused. K State is a completely different school than The University of Kansas.

Someone needed to tell you
