I feel vindicated, and I'm glad to see #CollegeBoard on the hook for their craptastic testing platform. Maybe now make your app enterprise-friendly after this scheißeshow?
keetUgh, I'd like to "have a word" with the AP/CollegeBoard people who designed their website. It uses way too many domains/trackers for my taste. The amount of things I've had to whitelist just for basic website functionality is simply excessive. It just feels...gross...to visit websites like that.

A friend shared this post on #LinkedIn. It's about how the l Young #Women's #STEAM Research & Preparatory Academy (YWA) in #ElPaso, #Texas has "an introductory-to-advanced sequence of [#computerScience] classes," and how they earned the #CollegeBoard’s #AP #CS Female #Diversity #Award. I shared this on LinkedIn.
As a #Texan, I'm proud that we are preparing Texas #students for careers in #technology.
For years, Texas government has been working to attract tech companies to come to Texas. The idea being to create tech #jobs in our state.
This can only work if Texas has educated workers who can fill those roles. If there aren't enough tech workers in Texas, those jobs will be filled by #immigrants from #SiliconValley, the #PacificNorthwest, or even other nations. Which defeats the purpose of bringing those jobs here.
Many people think that #AI is going to take all the tech jobs. This is not a reasonable expectation because AI cannot innovate. AI cannot be trained on ideas that don't exist, which means that it can only remix existing ideas. AI can only think inside the box.
This is why technology education is so important. Innovation depends on thinking outside the box. And, for the foreseeable future, this requires a human mind.

Matthew D. CroxtonA student of mine is investigating the impacts of having worked a job as a teenager on aspects of later employment as an adult. The IRB-approved research plan she developed uses a survey as her main data-gathering instrument. Please help by taking and sharing her anonymous poll. Anyone over the age of 18 is potentially in her study population, and her survey design will respect your time!

AP Research - Poll on Teenage Jobs
Informed Consent: This questionnaire is meant for research purposes into the effects of having a teen job. Survey participants must be over the age of 18 in order to fill out the poll. The survey is the only necessary element in which participants will engage. It will take about five minutes to complete and is no more than ten questions long. The questionnaire is meant to be used in a research paper investigating the effects of teenage jobs which will be submitted for an AP class to College Board and no personally identifiable information will be included. The data received will be kept anonymous and the questionnaire will be used to analyze the statistics of people who have worked between the ages of 16 and 19. If there are any questions regarding the questionnaire or any of the above information, you may contact: Kate Scarborough: Kate.scarborough@lakelandchristianschool.org Matthew Croxton (Teacher/Supervisor): mcroxton@lcsonline.org**

Carl T. BergstromThe #CollegeBoard is a bullshit racketeering operation, Part 746.
In their #SAT prep tools for students, they have two demo questions for algebra. The first of the two is hopelessly wrong; all four systems of linear equations have solutions.
Their supoosed right answer (A) has a solution y=3, x=-1.
How are students supposed to learn anything from these hacks?
