Winter Doldrums Continue
It’s difficult to overestimate the power of SAD to ruin your day. During these late winter months, it almost seems that winter will never end…here in northern Michigan, we’ve got 9 months of snow, and 3 months of bad sledding a year.
Seems the SATs are now 2400 points, lots of reading and writing. Pretty controversial I’m told. Standardized tests are so worthwhile. Lots of folks think that the SATs should be optional. I’m not sure what we should do, but something tells me that there’s going to be big controversy over this.
