Not seeing these geniuses in the colleges.

For all these charter schools, private schools, “magnet” schools, etc., there simply are not the educated little kiddies those schools should be graduating into college.

The SAT has been dumbed down and the schools now teach the SAT as a course, yet, the average SAT score is now below 1000. An SAT score of 1000 used to mean “join the Army, dummy, college ain’t for you.”

Back when I was in HS, an SAT of 1000 was still pretty respectable, and scoring in the high 1200s was enough to qualify for Mensa. It was the kids who got a combined score under 700-800 or so that needed alternate paths.

Whereas when I was taking the SAT only 10% of all HS students went to college, that figure went past 50% a long time ago.

That probably accounts for a little of the difference . . .
