ACT test scores fall to lowest level in 30 years following pandemic

..."The class of 2022's average ACT composite score was 19.8 out of 36, marking the first time since 1991 that the average score was below 20. What's more, an increasing number of high school students failed to meet any of the subject-area benchmarks set by the ACT — showing a decline in preparedness for college-level coursework.

The test scores, made public in a report Wednesday, show 42% of ACT-tested graduates in the class of 2022 met none of the subject benchmarks in English, reading, science and math, which are indicators of how well students are expected to perform in corresponding college courses."

I'm glad I went to college before people became dumber than they used to be.

Do junior high and high schools have shop classes anymore? Why the big push for sending kids to college when they don't even know what they want to do? So many people think it's a damn sin to work with your hands.
