Ask me why I left my old tutoring company a year ago and started Jenn the Tutor (perceptions like these discussed and this thread made me bold)
From what I recall the words were of my former boss was: It’s racist to hire you just because your black and illegal

A white tutor, one of our best, noticed that there was a mostly black class at Colgan High School for the after school paid program
She realized I was leaving due to low enrollment at Colgan & thought maybe representation by a Black tutor brought to the classroom would be better

she asked me if I could take over the class. Now mind you we were suppose to be independent contractors so subcontracting work was suppose to be in our power but we had to get approval from the boss.
Three big myths the crowd opposed to #testoptionalnow Puts out without data
1. That when standardized test scores are dropped out of the equation other factors get weighed more. Where’s the proof? Does common data show this. Seriously, if you have proof show it

2. That test prep only gives a couple points and it doesn’t matter- 20-70 sat points can shift a list in some score ranges
@CoachHixonDimes taught me yesterday that GA scholarships for zell/hope require 1200 sat or 26 act. So if you are at a 1180 and not 1200 it matters 3/

Also test prep can produce about 100-200 sat points and that is low for me, that’s a bad result. I’m never happy with 100-200 sat points unless you were at a 1400. 4/
