"x = 8a(b+9): Solve for a in 3 Steps"
x = 8a(b+9)
Solve for a in terms of b and x. Sounds simple, but 3 of the 4 answer choices are built from common algebra slip-ups 🧩
Since b is positive, b+9 ≠ 0, so we can safely divide both sides by 8(b+9):

Das College Board verbietet smarte Brillen bei SAT-Prüfungen. Testteilnehmer nutzen Wearables, um über integrierte Kameras Fragen an externe LLMs zu senden und Antworten per Knochenschall zu erhalten.
Universitäten setzen Frequenzscanner ein, in China werden Serverzugänge zu Sprachmodellen während Prüfungen blockiert, da automatische Standortsperren fehlen.

Ugh, I'd like to "have a word" with the AP/CollegeBoard people who designed their website. It uses way too many domains/trackers for my taste. The amount of things I've had to whitelist just for basic website functionality is simply excessive. It just feels...gross...to visit websites like that.

A friend shared this post on #LinkedIn. It's about how the l Young #Women's #STEAM Research & Preparatory Academy (YWA) in #ElPaso, #Texas has "an introductory-to-advanced sequence of [#computerScience] classes," and how they earned the #CollegeBoard’s #AP #CS Female #Diversity #Award. I shared this on LinkedIn.
As a #Texan, I'm proud that we are preparing Texas #students for careers in #technology.
For years, Texas government has been working to attract tech companies to come to Texas. The idea being to create tech #jobs in our state.
This can only work if Texas has educated workers who can fill those roles. If there aren't enough tech workers in Texas, those jobs will be filled by #immigrants from #SiliconValley, the #PacificNorthwest, or even other nations. Which defeats the purpose of bringing those jobs here.
Many people think that #AI is going to take all the tech jobs. This is not a reasonable expectation because AI cannot innovate. AI cannot be trained on ideas that don't exist, which means that it can only remix existing ideas. AI can only think inside the box.
This is why technology education is so important. Innovation depends on thinking outside the box. And, for the foreseeable future, this requires a human mind.

The #CollegeBoard is a bullshit racketeering operation, Part 746.
In their #SAT prep tools for students, they have two demo questions for algebra. The first of the two is hopelessly wrong; all four systems of linear equations have solutions.
Their supoosed right answer (A) has a solution y=3, x=-1.
How are students supposed to learn anything from these hacks?

The #CollegeBoard, a powerful nonprofit, has been waging war w/ the administration of Gov Ron #DeSantis, a #Republican, since earlier this year when his admin rejected the College Board’s new #AfricanAmericanStudies course. The #curriculum included topics such as “#QueerStudies,” #reparations & the #BlackLivesMatter movement, & the admin objected, citing a #FloridaLaw limiting how #racism & other aspects of #history are taught in #PublicSchool.

Under an expanded #Florida rule, instruction on #GenderIdentity & #SexualOrientation is now restricted in most cases through 12th grade. The #FloridaDepartmentOfEducation had asked the #CollegeBoard & other providers of advanced, college-level courses to search their offerings for potential violations.
But the College Board said that it would not modify its content, & that any course that did not address gender & sexual orientation should not be labeled “#AdvancedPlacement.”

You know how weird things are these days? I repeatedly find myself rooting for the #CollegeBoard as defenders of #academic honesty and critical thinking.

Oh no! The #collegeboard haz a *sad* :(
Florida's fascist government is deliberately setting out to keep their children poor and stupid and turn their state back into a life-sucking swamp unfit for humans, and the people who create and are supposed to uphold modern educational standards are... SAD. FFS.

CW: politics slavery florida
The kerfuffle over the whole "slavery taught valuable job skills" thing in Florida is an excellent example of why "facts only" history isn't history at all. (That's not what either side was going for, but it applies nonetheless.)
It's quite possible to make statements which are factually defensible but which - without careful context and interpretation - spread destructive falsehoods.
History requires context and interpretation, just like so many other things. Our obligation is to be as fair and objective about how we manage this as possible - not to throw stuff out there and simply accept whatever narratives are formed by those who pick and choose to serve their own agendas.
Did some enslaved individuals learn skills they were able to use for their own benefit to some degree in some way at some point? Yes. Was anything about slavery beneficial to those enslaved? No, not in the least. Both of these can be true at the same time - with a little context and the willingness to explain it.

TITLE: DeSantis Kicks Off Feud Over College Board’s AP Psychology Class—Gender & Sexual Orientation Issues
Thank you Dr. Pope:
-- Forwarded --
Politico released an article: “DeSantis kicks off feud over College Board’s AP psych class—Florida school districts had raised questions about an AP Psychology “learning objective” that covers gender and sexual orientation.”
Excerpts:
The College Board has rejected changing a high school Advanced Placement psychology course’s lessons on gender and sexual orientation, in a direct challenge to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration that could reignite conflict between the education giant and the presidential hopeful.
Florida school districts had raised questions about an AP Psychology “learning objective” that covers gender and sexual orientation, the College Board acknowledged Thursday, after the DeSantis administration expanded restrictions and regulations on classroom instruction in April.
<snip>
It is unclear whether Florida will now block the AP psychology course from classrooms, the College Board told educators.
“Please know that we will not modify our courses to accommodate restrictions on teaching essential, college-level topics,” the board said Thursday in a letter... “Doing so would break the fundamental promise of AP: colleges wouldn’t broadly accept that course for credit and that course wouldn’t prepare students for success in the discipline.”
The latest fracas between Florida and the College Board stems from a recently revamped state rule that expands legislation — panned as the “Don’t Say Gay” law by its critics — to restrict classroom instruction on sexual orientation or sexual identity to all K-12 students...
<snip>
On May 19, Florida’s education department pressed the College Board to review all of its courses to determine if any “need modification to ensure compliance” with Florida laws and regulations by this week. “Some courses may contain content or topics prohibited by State Board of Education rule and Florida law,” the state wrote to the board in a letter obtained by POLITICO.
The College Board retorted that its psychology lessons should remain unchanged, signaling a shift in how it will address Florida’s legal demands following this year’s battle over its proposed African American Studies course.
“The learning objective within AP Psychology that covers gender and sexual orientation has specifically been raised by some Florida districts relative to these recent regulations,” the board wrote to Florida officials. “That learning objective must remain a required topic, just as it has been in Florida since the launch of AP Psychology more than 30 years ago.”
Cassie Palelis, press secretary for the Florida Department of Education, said Thursday that the College Board is responsible for ensuring that their submitted materials comply with Florida law.
“We applaud the College Board for standing up to the state of Florida and its unconscionable demand to censor an educational curriculum and test that were designed by college faculty and experienced AP teachers who ensure that the course and exam reflect the state of the science and college-level expectations,” American Psychological Association CEO Arthur Evans Jr. said in a statement.
Florida’s objections to the AP African American studies course angered many Black leaders nationwide...
“We don’t know if the state of Florida will ban this course,” the College Board said of AP Psychology in a message to educators and schools. “To AP teachers in Florida, we are heartbroken by the possibility of Florida students being denied the opportunity to participate in this or any other AP course.”
The College Board also had a message for all educators: “Please know we will not modify any of the 40 AP courses — from art to history to science — in response to regulations that would censor college-level standards for credit, placement, and career readiness,” the board said. “We are resolute in this position, in part, because of what we learned from our mistakes in the recent rollout of AP African American Studies.
Florida is creating its own high-level courses and exams to rival the nationally recognized AP courses. State lawmakers earlier this year agreed to spend a combined $2.8 million developing a homegrown program and, in another challenge to the College Board, paved the way for students to use the Classic Learning Test, or CLT, as an alternative to the SAT and ACT.

Update. Leaked emails show that the #CollegeBoard lied about why it revised its #AP #AfricanAmerican studies course. Thanks to @holden for calling it out: "The corruption of the College Board is appalling. It simply cannot be trusted, and academia must stop relying on it to make important decisions about education."
