GPA

Boston Legal brought up a pretty good point the other day. Kids today aren't smarter than they were thirty years ago, even though statistically...they should be. I really like how they explained. They said kids just learn the test. They know it for the test and as soon as they get their A, they forget it. They aren't learning because they don't have time.

With the SAT approaching this Saturday, I have been thinking a lot lately about standardized tests and their importance in college admissions these days. Standardized tests are counting less and less for college admissions lately, and I think that's a good thing. In fact, I firmly believe that colleges should make submission of standardized test scores completely optional for all applicants.
