Some of the conflicts stem from the characteristics of this generation. A lot of students were an only child or had their own room at home. When it comes to a point where it's not working out, we don't want the social aspect of college to interfere with the academic aspect, so we need to be flexible and give them options.

All students should participate in taking this test. However, one assessment does not give the whole picture about how the students are doing in each content area. And, as you know, this is the only assessment used to show how a school is doing as a whole.
