Rather than fixing the Education system in the United States, we lower the standards of our measuring instruments (ie. SAT).

Hmm thats interesting, my father recently retook his SAT, Seems somthing happend when my mom forged his birth certificate WAAAY back when and they didnt count him as being the same person (she only changed his birthdate so they could drink together back when), he said that the SAT was MUCH harder this time arround and he even scored lower than previous.


now tell me how that is lowering the standards? I myself took the SAT and dont even remember my score, does it matter?. not realy. I graduated at 16 years old and was teaching at my local college at 18.

I do agree our schooling system is messed up, most other industrialized nations (US/UK/China/Japan/ect) have a much better system than us. I beleve our problem lies too much in teaching stuff that isnt at the core (ebonics anyone?) . math and reading/language skills NEED to be our focus..also we have to contend with a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher rate of students comming from other countries that dont speak english.

And for the record im 23 years of age
