Thread: I don't think Sal Khan is a bad guy. But this article is full of College Board propaganda, as you might expect from someone who is indebted to the College Board. thejournal.com/Articles/2022/…
I will leave the #HateRead to @akilbello but let me just point out one thing in a quote from the article, and a piece of reality:
The tendency of tossing out made-up crap and expecting to get away with it is where we are. It didn't start in 2015 and 2016, that that's when it solidified.
Don't let them do it.

#hateread candidate because of the terrible tablecloth picture and the inaccuracies in the article | The Hill: Bring back standardized tests — for fairness

Even before i dig into the article let me add a few images
Keep in mind that CT is one of the richest states in the union
Shortest thread ever, maybe? I even hesitate to link to #HateRead articles in small outlets, because it probably amplifies them.

Manages, in a very short piece, to hit six of my nine tropes the ACT and SAT defenders like to trot out. See if you can spot them (you should have these memorized by now).

Oh, and #EMTalk
The author posted this on LinkedIn and I keep replying to the people who support it hoping to be the first person banished from LinkedIn for arguing. #HateRead #EMTalk www-mathtutorct-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.mathtu…
Here is one of the responses. ADULTS ARE TELLING KIDS TO TEST AND PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE IN ORDER TO GET ADMITTED.
And explain how these two ideas are connected?

It's not that the title if faulty, of course. Many of us believe that a liberal arts education is not only valuable but essential.
But it doesn't take long to turn into a bonafide NYT Education piece.

13-tweet thread: With apologies to @akilbello for hijacking his excellent #HateRead hashtag, I share this article from the @WSJ , which comes close to rivaling the stupidity of the opinion piece in the @chicagotribune a week or so ago wsj.com/articles/the-w…
It doesn't take long for the rich white guys to burst at the seams trying to keep from using the term, "Snowflakes."
Of course, no one is opposed to testing. Just testing that doesn't tell us much and costs the country hundreds of millions of dollars in real and opportunity costs.
