Testing or not

The College Board considered adding a diversity score to the SAT test but stopped after public outcry. The idea was to give extra points for students of color who came from low income areas. It would be wise to get rid of such test. Some students spend hours practicing this test and many get private tutors to help them get better scores. A better use of resources would be to explain that college is not for everyone. For many going to work after high school is a better use of time and money. The University of Minnesota offers 150 majors many of which require advanced degrees to qualify for a job. If you major in psychology you most likely will have to get a PhD to go to work as a psychologist. If you graduate from high school and you can read something and then write down what you read you are ready for work. Now all you need is some ambition.
