FLUNKING THE SATs: Please repeat after us!

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2015

Part 3—Your important new mantra:
Are 17-year-old American students doing less well in math?

Having asked that, let’s also ask this:

Are 17-year-old Americans doing less well in math?

As some readers will already know, those are different questions. That said, let’s make a basic point:

The SAT is not designed to answer either question!

The SATs are not designed for that purpose! We’re going to offer that today as an important new mantra—a mantra you should repeat, in slavish fashion, if you want to understand one of the most ubiquitous cons in which your “press corps” engages.

“The SATs are not designed for that purpose! The SATs are not designed for that purpose!”

We’ll suggest you repeat it again and again, unless you enjoy being misled by the type of elite establishment script the Washington Post published last week.

Nick Anderson is an experienced education reporter. Basically, he was working a very familiar con in his lengthy, front-page news report in last Thursday’s Post.

The new SAT scores had been released—and no one could explain the small drop in average scores! At least, that’s the impression Anderson gave, conning you as he did.

This is the way the music man started. Are you reciting your mantra as you review his misleading work?
ANDERSON (9/3/15): Scores on the SAT have sunk to the lowest level since the college admission test was overhauled in 2005, adding to worries about student performance in the nation’s high schools.

The average score for the Class of 2015 was 1490 out of a maximum 2400, the College Board reported Thursday. That was down 7 points from the previous class’s mark and was the lowest composite score of the past decade. There were declines of at least 2 points on all three sections of the test—critical reading, math and writing.

The steady decline in SAT scores and generally stagnant results from high schools on federal tests and other measures reflect a troubling shortcoming of education-reform efforts. The test results show that gains in reading and math in elementary grades haven’t led to broad improvement in high schools, experts say. That means several hundred thousand teenagers, especially those who grew up poor, are leaving school every year unready for college.

“Why is education reform hitting a wall in high school?” asked Michael J. Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a think tank. “You see this in all kinds of evidence. Kids don’t make a whole lot of gains once they’re in high school. It certainly should raise an alarm.”

It is difficult to pinpoint a reason for the decline in SAT scores, but educators cite a host of enduring challenges in the quest to lift high school achievement. Among them are poverty, language barriers, low levels of parental education and social ills that plague many urban neighborhoods.
Before our series is finished, we’ll review some horrible recent work by the awful Petrilli. For the record, he’s president of the Fordham Institute, a conservative think tank—but then, who's keeping score?

Whatever! By the start of paragraph 5, Anderson had basically thrown up his hands concerning the reasons for “the steady decline in [average] SAT scores.” Unless it’s a lack of “reform” in our high schools, he just couldn’t think of a way to explain that steady decline!

“It is difficult to pinpoint a reason for the decline in SAT scores,” Anderson wrote, making a statement which is technically accurate but grossly misleading. Before we provide the background to your new mantra, let’s improve on Anderson’s statement, which was in essence a familiar establishment con.

Is it “difficult to pinpoint a reason for the decline in [average] SAT scores?” Actually, it’s impossible! In part, that’s because there is no single “reason” for the decline in those average scores. But it’s also impossible to “pinpoint a reason” because of this basic point:

The SATs are not designed for that purpose! The SATs are not designed for that purpose! The SATs are not designed for that purpose!

Let’s explain what we mean by that blindingly obvious statement, which you should keep repeating.

Basically, there are two ways to conduct educational tests if you want to be able to make sensible year-to-year comparisons. You can test all the kids in the population under review. Or you can test a “scientifically selected,” representative sample of all those students or children.

Each technique is in wide use. The SATs employ neither.

Universal testing: You can test all the kids in a given population. This is what the fifty states attempt to do in the annual statewide tests which were mandated by No Child Left Behind.

To cite one example, the state of Maryland attempted to test all its fourth graders in the spring of 2014. One year later, it attempted to test all its fourth graders in the spring of 2015.

No state ever manages to test all its students, but the percentages tested run very high. This permits certain types of reasonable year-to-year comparisons.

Representative samples: Other programs test “representative samples” of the populations in question. That includes the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the so-called “gold standard” of domestic testing.

Every few years, the NAEP tests the nation’s fourth- and eighth-graders. But it doesn’t try to test all such kids. Instead, it tests carefully selected samples of same.

It’s much like election polling. The samples are selected to provide representative numbers of kids by race, ethnicity, family income and geographic region. Whether in election polling or educational testing, no sample can perfectly represent the full population from which it is drawn. But carefully drawn representative samples can also provide for sensible comparisons from one year to the next.

In running the SATs, the College Board doesn’t engage in either practice! The SATs don’t test all the nation’s high school seniors. Nor do the SATs attempt to test a representative sample of same.

The College Board simply gives its tests to any student who signs up and takes them! There’s nothing wrong with that practice, of course, until we start over-interpreting the results of such testing. But every year, the demographic blend of the tested students has been changing, in ways which can be fairly substantial. These means that the SAT program isn’t designed to produce meaningful year-to-year comparisons.

Presumably, Anderson understands this. As he continued his front-page news report, he quoted a College Board official and offered some sensible warnings about overinterpretation.

But alas! Wouldn’t you know it? He left one warning out:
ANDERSON: Schmeiser cautioned against “overinterpreting small fluctuations” in average scores from year to year.

Caveats abound when SAT scores are released. The students who take it are in most cases a self-selected sample,
motivated to endure a grueling exercise of 3 hours and 45 minutes on a Saturday. (The test is offered during school days in all public high schools in the District of Columbia and a handful of states.)

Some students take the SAT two or three times. Scores also track closely with family income, rising with affluence, so annual variations in who takes it can swing the results. That makes comparisons of scores among schools, school districts or states problematic. The lower the participation, generally, the higher the scores.
The SAT doesn’t test a representative sample of high school seniors. According to Anderson, “that makes comparisons of scores among schools, school districts or states problematic.”

That statement is perfectly accurate. But the lack of representative samples also makes year-to-year comparisons of SAT scores “problematic,” as Schmeiser may have said.

But so what? Starting right in paragraph one, Anderson built his entire front-page report around just such a comparison! Needless to say, it led to a standard conclusion about the need for “reform.”

Is it “difficult to pinpoint a reason for the decline in [average] SAT scores?” Actually, no—it’s impossible! It’s impossible to pinpoint the reasons for the decline in overall average scores—or for the rise in many scores on both the SAT and the ACT once you “disaggregate” scores, once you break the scores down by demographic groups.

Alas! Due to our brutal racial history—due to ongoing social policy—white kids and Asian-American kids score much higher on the SATs, on average, than black and Hispanic kids do. And duh! If the lower-scoring groups constitute a higher percentage of students tested as the years go by, this will tend to lower the average scores!

Anderson understands that, of course. Everyone understands that! But it seems he didn’t want to explain it—and this unhelpful, brain-dead reluctance is quite widespread in our “mainstream press corps.”

Tomorrow, we’ll look at where it can lead when big newspapers play us this way. In the meantime, remember two basic points:

At the Washington Post, all roads lead to decline in our public schools, probably due to the lack of “reform.” By rule of Hard Pundit Law, this official establishment narrative must always be repeated, no matter how large a con you must pull to reach that desired conclusion.

Please remember that basic point! As we’ve shown you through the years, that narrative rules all mainstream coverage of educational testing, international and domestic.

Results of educational testing must always lead to that conclusion! Something has to be terribly wrong in our schools, presumably due to our ratty teachers and the lack of “reform!”

Please remember that basic point, which controls all coverage of testing. But while you’re at it, please remember your new mantra too:

The SATs are not designed for that purpose! The SATs are not designed for that purpose!

Presumably, Anderson understands that. Perhaps it was his corporate editor who made him take it out!

Tomorrow: Onward and downward to the horrors at Slate. Beyond that, what did the AP write? What occurred at the Times?

    1. Frankly, I think the italicized comment betrays something completely different than that, if I may say, trollish spin.

      Of course, some (trolls) are often pretending to keep score. "Somerby only attacks supposed liberals because he's really a supporter of the GOP" is a timeless nugget, an essential meme in what passes for the troll arsenal.

      I think the italicized comment betrays that Somerby, contrary to the general supposition in comments here, actually does occasionally read his commenters.

      On the merits, this post is hitting pretty successfully on one of Somerby's general theses: Mainstream press reporting is tailored to adhere to standard narrative on certain topics, facts be damned.

      The press's primary troll defender here on this topic is KZ, who will soon be by with a lengthy comment -- one which will not however dent the thesis a bit.

      As the Times reported just yesterday, national SAT scores hit an all-time high in math last year, and the verbal score has risen four points in the past decade. The claim..(of a crisis in our schools).. is hard to square with those numbers.

  4. Explaining academic performance in terms of history is both illusory and useless. It's illusory because we don't know enough to do it correctly. E.g., here are a couple of questions that cannot be answered with confidence:

    1. Why did brutal bigotry lead (on average) to poor performance by blacks, but outstandingly good performance by Asians, Mormons, and Jews?

    2. In the 1950's, black families were mostly intact. Crime in black neighborhoods was low. What caused the subsequent breakdowns? Was it a very delayed reaction to Jim Crow? A very, very delayed reaction to slavery?

    Explaining current culture in terms of history doesn't lead to solutions, because we can't change history. IMHO it's much better to look at the current situation. E.g., figure out what it is about the current cultures of Asians, Jews and Mormons that leads to success. Now, adopt policies likely to promote that sort of culture among under-represented minorities.

    1. Sentences referring to the decline in our public schools:

      "adding to worries about student performance in the nation’s high schools."

      "The steady decline in SAT scores and generally stagnant results from high schools on federal tests and other measures reflect a troubling shortcoming of education-reform efforts. The test results show that gains in reading and math in elementary grades haven’t led to broad improvement in high schools, experts say. That means several hundred thousand teenagers, especially those who grew up poor, are leaving school every year unready for college.

      “Why is education reform hitting a wall in high school?” asked Michael J. Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a think tank. “You see this in all kinds of evidence. Kids don’t make a whole lot of gains once they’re in high school. It certainly should raise an alarm.”"

      For the link to teachers you have to connect the dots. Teachers and their unions have been opposing reform, thus it is the teachers fault if reform hasn't produced gains.

      Note that it is educators who cite a bunch of causes, but the article says it is difficult to pinpoint the cause (implying the causes cited by the educators may be incorrect):

      "It is difficult to pinpoint a reason for the decline in SAT scores, but educators cite a host of enduring challenges in the quest to lift high school achievement. Among them are poverty, language barriers, low levels of parental education and social ills that plague many urban neighborhoods."

      Do you not understand that "educators" refers to "teachers"?

      Delete
    2. Noting a failure at the high school level to replicate gains made at lower grade levels does not indicate a "decline."

      Listing challenges cited by educators does not constitute calling teachers "ratty."

      But I forget. In Howlerville you don't deal with facts. You deal with presumptions about things which aren't said but seem to be said.

      Delete
    3. The article itself uses the word "decline". You don't have to call teachers "ratty" to blame them. And yes, I realize that trolls don't do inference. That problem would cost you major points on the SAT.

    4. 8:09 has a point. The article should have used the word "different" to refer to lower test scores instead of "decline" to avoid frightening people like you and Somerby....people with the creative skills to do "inference" and turn an adjective applied to one test result to and indictment of the whole public school system.

  6. The SAT doesn’t test a representative sample of high school seniors.

    No. But the NAEP does. It tests a random sample of 17 year olds as well. Anderson alludes to those test results, noting also that those tests are given to students at younger grades.

    I think Bob included what he wrote but didn't choose to highlight it.

    Lets fix that for you.

    "The steady decline in SAT scores and generally stagnant results from high schools on federal tests and other measures reflect a troubling shortcoming of education-reform efforts. The test results show that gains in reading and math in elementary grades haven’t led to broad improvement in high schools, experts say

    Lord have mercy. Did Anderson dare mention higher scores at the elementary level? How dare he violate Hard Pundit Law. Gosh, did he mention "troubling shortcoming" rather than "need for" when describing "reform".

    1. If you understand the argument about the selection bias present in the SAT, you should also understand that when you consider 17 year olds, there is a bias in the scores because of changes in the drop out rate across comparison periods.

      Further, by the time you are dealing with 17 year olds, the causes of lower performance are more complex than they are with 4th and 8th graders. 17 year olds understand that they are being tested, have attitudes about tests, have a self-image and expectations about their own performance (or lack), thus have a more complex motivation when taking tests than 4th graders, who are pretty clueless about the purpose of any test. Then there is the cumulative impact of years of schooling -- why would you expect gains in scores on material kids are in the process of learning to be the same as gains in scores on material kids may have failed to learn years earlier and been slipping further behind since then? A child who is not performing at grade level in 4th grade, may be 2 or 3 years behind. A child who is not performing at grade level in 11th grade may be anywhere from 1 to 10 years behind. How might that affect average scores for 17 year olds compared to those of 4th graders?

  7. To answer Bob Somerby's opening question, no. Not significantly.

    The kiddos are down a couple of points from their high score on the Gold Standard Test since the all time high in 1999, but there has been no statistically significant change for better or worse since 1990.

    Now the fifteen year olds are a bit of a different different story, but we'll have to go to the PISA test for that and you all know what a mess that can be what with all those Asian Tigers prowling about plus the Fantastic Finns and Miracle Poles.

    1. Comparing PISA with NAEP is comparing apples to oranges. NAEP is not an international test, it doesn't test for the same abilities or material, it doesn't include the same kinds of kids (sample in the same way). But you are just trolling by stringing together words in a meaningless way and it doesn't matter to you what you say, as long as it sounds critical of Somerby.

      You don't know what statistically significant means. With the large numbers of kids included in these samples, even very small differences can be statistically significant, even if the difference is meaningless. No one with a grasp of statistics would use the words "statistically significant" in this context. If you actually mean that the difference (change) is unimportant, say that instead. It is less embarrassing to you.

    2. Throw in some cherries with the apples and oranges and one would have a good start on a fruitcake. Nobody compared PISA and NAEP, however.

    5. AnonymousSeptember 11, 2015 at 9:56 AM -- Anon7:53 is exactly right. My wife and I are both professional statisticians. There's a huge amount of bad statistics done in published papers. And, even more bad statistics in media reports.

      A pet peeve we share is all the people who know how to do statistical tests, but who don't understand the assumptions. And thus, their calculations, which seem to follow the formulas, are not valid.

      The confusion between significance and statistical significance is a common fallacy. Statistical significance simply means that the sample gives a reliable picture of the entire data set. Suppose there's a tiny change from the prior year. As 7:53 pointed out, if a sample is large enough, we will have confidence that the change is not an artifact of the sampling process. But, if the change is tiny, it tells us nothing about the process we're studying.

      Lay people often think statistical significance implies policy significance. IMHO some researchers take advantage of this confusion, in order to make their work seem more important than it really is.

    6. You are a professional statistician? I'll take your word for it. But can your read?

      You say: "As 7:53 pointed out, if a sample is large enough, we will have confidence that the change is not an artifact of the sampling process. But, if the change is tiny, it tells us nothing about the process we're studying.

    9. Re meaningless -- a sheet of paper has a few random bumps on it. Such bumps can be read as braille and communicate information or they can just be random bumps with nothing to convey. When people try to interpret random bumps as if they were braille, the resilts can be confusing. That's what happens when people try to interpret a statistically significant result as if it were meaningful when it is just random (inflated to statistical significance by a large sample size). This danger is taught in introductory statistics courses, so failure to understand this provlem is a dead giveaway that someone doesn't know much about statistics.

He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr Okaya through his Email and he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my Lover started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now.we moved in together and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. Okaya helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. Okaya to anyone in need of help. Such As

  9. How To Get Your Lost Husband Back

    “LOVE is the key to LIFE”. That was the word from Dr Ukaka when I consulted his powerful Love Temple. I married the wrong man; I realized that after four years of our unfruitful marriage. Everything was going from Best to Worst in our life, no child, I got demoted from work after our marriage, my husband was sacked a year after. His application for new job in various offices was constantly declined even though he was qualified enough. I was made to take care of my family with the low income I earn get that wasn’t enough to pay our rent. We keep praying a seeking for help from some people, my friends laugh at me behind because I was advised not to get married yet.It was one Thursday night that my husband woke me up and told me that has thought enough about our crisis, he said that our crisis is not ordinary and it’s beyond our spiritual level. He suggested we should consult Dr Ukaka from testimonies he showed me online about how he has been helping families. I was afraid, I don’t like evil or spell but I supported him to contact him if he can help us. We consulted him via freedomlovespell@hotmail.com and he replied positively after 20munites with congratulating email that he can help us but he will need our pure heart and trusts in his work if he will cast the spell on us and purify our life. We agreed to his terms. He cast the spell and told us to expect results within 5days. I waited for three days nothing happened, so I started having doubt and blaming my husband for emailing Dr Ukaka. It was on the fifth day that my husband was called for an interview and he got a well-paying work, I was prompted to a higher position. I missed my period on the 5th day and it was confirmed that I am with a baby. Things have really changed for us for good and we now have our own house and cars. I will never forget what Dr Ukaka told us “LOVE is the key to LIFE”, this word keep me going. People that laughed at us are coming close for help and I am delighted to welcome them because my family is now blessed. Dr Ukaka is a savior and man that keep to his word even when I doubted his powers at the end of the spell. Thank you great Dr Ukaka and your Oracle for helping us via freedomlovespell@hotmail.com and I will keep spreading this message to people in need of help. also contact him for help.website address: freedomlovespelltemple.yolasite.com ;

  16. 'After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

  26. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.
