The College Board and I
If ever if ever there was a large corporation bent on the destruction of the intrellectual lives of all students-- it would be the college board.
The college board charges disgustingly high prices to take its tests. It has set itself up as a monopoly in the standardized testing industry, and therefore to be accepted into college and sometimes even to graduate high school, one must pay homage to the College Board.
And homage is the right word. All must bow and bend to every whim of the college board, stifle all intellectual freedom and curiosity to conform to the College Board's conception of intelligence, and, by the end, betray themselves intellectually to pass the College Board's big-brother-like scrutiny of the Eassay Test.
The College Board discriminates against the poor, people who test badly, people with learning disabilities, and the just plain different.
And it doesn't end at high school. The College Board follows you- through college, into Grad school. The College Board has tried to fix it so that your SAT scores are just as important as your social security number- and every time you are forced by the College Board to use them, you are forced by the College Board to pay a price.
The twits.
