All that CCSS “material” and TEST prep and then this?

UnknownAll that CCSS “material” and TEST prep and then this?
SAT “COLLEGE READINESS” SCORES DECLINE AGAIN DEMONSTRATING FAILURE OF TEST-DRIVEN K-12 SCHOOLING
FROM FairTest.
SAT scores for high school seniors dropped again this year continuing a ten-year trend, according to data released today.
SAT averages declined by 28 points since 2006 when the “No Child Left Behind” public school testing mandate went into effect.
Again, INCOME is the biggest contributor to success. For example, can you say, hire tutors?
