i think at some points people understand that people aren t trying to give him and s.a.t. test, but you have to bring something to the table. everyone knows even if you do a home remodeling project, there is a learning curve. i think donald trump has to bring something more to the table because if nothing else as time goes by, it may not happen forever. and i don t see why he doesn t want to have some interest in knowing a little more and to get beyond bluster. but as judy said. if you are saying whatever he s doing is working, it doesn t absolve you of the responsibilities of knowing more, just in case you do become the president of the united states. reporter: there was a great journalist who said to me it s not the questions that get in trouble, only the answers.
subtle understanding rather than arcane words. will this make it more fair? some disagree saying the real issue is our failing education system and not the s.a.t. what do you think? you can go to msnbc.com and take a poll to leave your opinion in an article about the test s evolution. and of course, you can join the conversation with fellow readers on twitter, facebook, instagram and msnbc.com and keep telling us what s important to you. and now more on the s.a.t. test, for now this news. three things to celebrate about the new s.a.t.s.
out, you may actually make the problem worse. not to say they figured out a formula we have to distinguish between theory and implementation. in the abstract, let s have a writing portion. this thing wasn t exactly. this wasn t working. but making sure kids can write before they go to college is a good idea. that s a bold stance. that s right. so it s ironic that that s what they took out. right. the real funny thing about this is that for the first time they re really trying to make sure that kids are going to be assessed on what they actually learned. now, david coleman, who played a role in shaping those common core standards and is president of the college board, is the person actually working on both ends of this. yes, so david coleman, just so people are clear about the common core thing that s happening, right, some sort of substantive body of knowledge that american schoolchildren across the country should know is what the common core is, right? and, well, t
and a serious must reveal the name of anonymous user who left a nasty comment. it started when the person commented on a philly.com article about a local union leader. the lawyer representing the comment tate fors argued that the judge deciding the comment was defamation and not protected by the constitution. the case could have a broad impact on anonymous cruel commenting all across the internet. and we have all done it, right? we re walking around, we re glued to our cell phones. how about this, a woman in china was so absorbed into her phone that she walked right off the edge of a train platform and landed on the subway track. luckily there wasn t a train nearby and she was helped back up on to the platform uninjured. a lesson for us all to learn there. and changes are coming to the s.a.t. test.
although, i think there will still be coaches out there. what do you think? are these changes going to lead to some sort of dramatic effect? will there be a dramatic effect as a result of these changes for students? we re certainly hopeful of that. we work with low-income students primarily around the country. as everyone has talked about, the s.a.t. test can be potentially biased to students with more resources but won t that always be the case? so the college board with their opportunity agenda, i think that they re really making an effort to really open up the gateway for all students to be able to compete, to go to college and to be successful in college. one of the major criticisms, as you just alluded to there, is that families who have more money have more of an advantage
