Lesson Comments
Vlad upset with the whole SAT/ACT process. We discussed debate points: the unfairness of the tests and the need to find valid evaluation vehicles. Vlad took the tone of a person who was ready to campaign strongly against standardized testing. I think he is concerned about how well he did on the ACT last Saturday.
