It’s the lowest common denominator factor. This is why “college” has become a printing press of degrees that range from “basically a ged” to “actually requires talent so we have to force DEI initiatives”.
Yeah. Them getting rid of looking at the SATs for admissions isn’t going to help, either. The test is a lot of things but it does correlate very well with people that do well in school in real degree programs.
I got into an argument with one guy about that. He said it’s a stupid test because they don’t teach it in school and it doesn’t mean anything. I told him it’s a test about reading, writing, and math, and asked him what they taught in schools. He said he used to sub and they didn’t teach any of that. I asked him what they did teach and he got flustered and said nothing.
