It takes time for students to work their way through the system.

I'm guessing the kids who didn't do the standardized tests at/shortly after 2021 were already prepared for it.
The kids who saw the removal of standardized testing 3 years out from going to college never bothered.

Testing was the annoying flood barrier. AI is the rainstorm that shows why it was necessary.

There's always a lag between cause and effect in education.
Works the other way too - if you introduce something positive in grade 1, you'll only see the results a few years later.

It takes time to work through the system and it has been steadily getting worse.
It was already discussed on HN.
