To the editor: Why are educators nonetheless occupied with math and English check scores within the L.A. Unified Faculty District and the remainder of California? In spite of everything, the College of California and California State College programs now not require the SAT or ACT for admission, so what’s the purpose of testing on the decrease ranges? (“Low math and English scores mark the nation’s report card, California and L.A. included,” Jan. 28)
In reality, being a straight-A pupil doesn’t imply {that a} pupil in LAUSD can learn at grade stage. They’re simply method forward of the vast majority of college students.
I see it this fashion: Prefer it or not, the SAT and ACT are good indicators of pupil success in faculty. So, if a pupil’s check rating is low, go to neighborhood faculty first, show your self and save a hell of some huge cash.
Nobody likes testing. Nevertheless it’s higher than embarrassing your self by flunking out of some four-year faculty when your 4.0 grade-point common in highschool was actually extra like a 2.0.
Both check in Okay-12 and use the SAT and ACT for school admission, or finish testing as a measure of readiness in any respect ranges.

To the editor: Based on latest testing statistics, 78% of LAUSD eighth graders are usually not proficient in studying. Maybe they need to be examined on their social media consciousness and proficiency.
