Standardized testing has become the arbiter of social mobility, yet there is more regulation of the food we feed our pets that of the tests we give our kids

The larger issue here is that the nation has put its trust in an unaccountable testing industry. It's yet another one of those cases in which the testing industry's screw-up could significantly harm people's education and their lives.

The volume is way up, and the people with the competence to do this don't exist.

In terms of consequences, this is the largest mistake ever made on the SAT.

People are under the false illusion that because the tests are graded by a machine that the process is objective. But everything, including programming the machine and doing quality control on it, is, in fact, done by human beings. And all humans make mistakes.

This would be a comedy of errors if the impact on human lives were not so tragic. How many more missing forms are there lost in the system? How many other errors have not been reported?

There's clearly something wrong with the management at the College Board and Pearson.

What this represents is a dissatisfaction or worse with the changes in the SAT.

In classrooms serving low-income and minority kids, it turns into teaching the test. The test becomes the curriculum. Because of concerns that those kids are not going to pass, education becomes narrowed to the content of the test.

The truth is that there is stronger public oversight and control over the food we feed our pets than for the tests administered to our children. We simply cannot trust the testing industry to oversee itself.

More than half the states now require passage of a test before awarding a high school diploma. Proponents claimed this additional hurdle would 'raise the bar' for educational quality. But SAT and ACT scores show that college readiness skills, as measured by these indicators, have not improved significantly.

The president's idea was dead on arrival. Now it is well beyond rigor mortis.

I wonder if it's going to be a test too far. They're changing the length, the range and the format all at once, so it could prompt the same kind of backlash among students and admissions offices alike as the new SAT has. It's true that the old test didn't do a good job of predicting graduate school performance, but when you add in everything everybody asks for, you get a camel — a camel being a horse built by committee.

The testing explosion often creates overlaps between tests mandated at the district level, the state level and the federal level,
