We Are Teaching High School Students To Write Terribly- Literacy Blog #7

     The SAT is a tests your readiness for college.   Can even determine your placement in college classes... I think that taking this test is completely mindless of whoever organized for this test to be token.  The fact that they don't give the students enough time to take the test is ridiculous!  "To do well on the essay, he says, the best approach is to just make stuff up." It seems unreal to me that they'd like for students to make up stuff due to the lack of time...
