Update #2 who is writing the new SAT

A month or so  ago, when I first became aware of the questions surrounding ETSs involvement (or lack thereof) in the new SAT, I wrote to several  people who had been vocal about criticizing Common Core and the slapdash manner in which it was thrown together by Coleman et. al. One of the people I contacted was Jim Milgram, whose response I cited in an earlier post; the other was his colleague Sandra Stotsky, the other member of the validation committee who refused to sign off on the Standards. Unfortunately, neither of them was able to offer any insight into the authorship of the SAT; however, Sandra did suggest that I write to Valerie Strauss at the  Washington Post and alert her to the College Boards deliberate and persistent evasiveness regarding that question. (The  Posts  Education section, unlike that of the   Los Angeles Times,  hasnt been bought out by one of the billionaires funding the reform movement†¦ at least not yet.) Valerie  promptly responded to let me  know that she found the issue fascinating and would do some investigation of her own.   So stay tuned. If enough people start asking questions, perhaps  the powers that be at the College Board will finally be forced into providing some answers no doubt heaping on scads of reformster  gibberish in an attempt  evade  the issue at every step. (Transparency? What transparency?). But at least that would be a step in the right direction.
