Shining a Spotlight on the Dark Corners of the College Board

“It almost gives you the impression that it is all about money,” said Lovato. "And all the while our schools are fighting tooth and nail to provide proper education to our students.

Of course it is…if both assessments are equal in the eyes of colleges, go with the cheaper assessment. As a taxpayer, I would expect nothing less (assuming a fair bidding process).

and btw, the assessment tool has zero to do with providing a “proper education to [their] students,” unless the Super believes that the assessment is measuring a “proper education.” (If so, he should be retired.)

I did read the post about the gallon and glasses question. But it is difficult to verify whether the student is accurately reporting the content of the question.

Could have also been printer error, in that the printer dropped a few key words inadvertently. Yes, CB is responsible for printers that they hire, but in such a case, it would not be an issue with the test design itself.
