SAT scores stay at lowest level in nearly a decade? I'm not surprised.

I just read an article from a few days ago about SAT scores being so low. Who's surprised? Not this tutor. Not everyone can afford an expensive test prep program even though a LOT of kids want to go to college. The article shows a graph of dipping critical and math scores, but what's more important to me is the big dip on the graph for the Writing section. Students just aren't getting the info they need from schools to take a test, and teachers in schools shouldn't coach students to ace a standardized test. If they do, then they're not learning anything, and that's really unfortunate. What's also unfortunate is the sharp contrast in scores, with black students' scores being tragically lower than white and Asian students' scores.
