An Immodest Proposal: "Conscientiously Object to the SAT"

<p>My D did a minimal amount of SAT prep work with a “tutor.” Her scores came back about 100 points less than she expected based on a few practice tests. She looked at the data on the SAT webpage: average increase in scores for a second try was 13 points; less than 4% will increase scores by more than 100 points, with 45% showing no increases. She decided not to take the SATs again. At the time I felt it was the wrong decision. She felt she was not going to learn anything useful by trying to study for the SATs. She was busy the school and doing things she really liked. Does that count at least partially as conscientiously objecting?</p>
