  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

    Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

  7. Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
    National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
    Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.
