Why MIT is an outlier in reinstating SAT/ACT scores for admissions

Posted: 21 Apr 2022 02:32 PM PDT

The Washington Post reports:
During the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of colleges and universities suspended or dropped SAT or ACT test scores as a requirement for admissions. Last month, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) made news by reinstating it — which, as my colleague Nick Anderson wrote here, runs counter to the path taken by other leading institutions of higher education.
There's more:
As MIT's own announcement statement made clear, its policy is not designed to be generalized, even to other highly selective schools. Rather, the purported utility of SAT math scores at MIT is specific to the unique curriculum of that institution — the introductory physics course that all first-year students must take assumes that everyone has completed introductory calculus.
At Harvard : many students have never taken calculus . It appears Rick Singer knew there was no easy track at MIT.

The Fatherless Home Crisis: Boys Without Men Around

Posted: 21 Apr 2022 05:07 AM PDT

Mona Charen reports:
The other great upheaval of the past half century is the decline of the two-parent family. The great dividing line in American life is not progressive versus conservative, urban versus rural, or black versus white. It's married versus not. For example, African-American husbands have higher labor force participation rates than white bachelors. The upper third of the income distribution, who tend to marry and stay together, also tend to raise thriving children. By contrast, the lowest third, who mostly have revolving-door relationships without marriage, tend to have kids who don't. The middle third is more like the bottom than the top. Children in homes with a non-relative adult are 11 times more likely to be the victims of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse than those living with their biological or adoptive parents. And children in homes with a non-relative adult male are 50 times more likely to die of inflicted injuries than those who grow up with their biological or adoptive parents.
There's more:
Boys are more disadvantaged than girls when they are raised by single mothers. Two MIT economists studied pairs of siblings in Florida between 1992 and 2002. They found that "Fatherless boys are less ambitious, less hopeful, and more likely to get into trouble at school than fatherless girls." Being raised by a single mother significantly decreased the likelihood that a boy would attend college, but had no similar effect on girls.
