Ha…no that was it. I was the OP. Honestly, I am a fan of testing. It was just a frustrating experience obviously. First world problem…sure. CA definitely does not require it nor do all schools participate in SAT day.
The most striking part of the day was seeing how many motivated kids were out there. Regardless of why…there they were before 745 in an amazing line wrapping around the Marriott in Downtown Oakland. As the article said this was just an added site. There were kids from all over the Bay Area. There is demand. But as we sat in standard crappy Sat I-80 traffic heading home it dawned on us that the potential benefit was not worth the effort. Good luck to all who keep fighting the good fight…
