This year, Florida adopted the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to the SAT and ACT. This move is further evidence that the tide is turning in education, and the CLT is the remedy we need to redeem our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failing education system<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CLT sets students up for success in work and life because it orients educators to teach cultural literacy and critical thinking skills \u2013 two main pillars of knowledge that teenagers need to thrive in adulthood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contrast this approach with the SAT exam, which primarily assesses students\u2019 test-taking abilities and thereby erodes rigorous education. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/13-year-olds-basic-skills-reading-math-standardized-test-scores-lowest-years-us-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAT\u2019s format requires<\/a> educators to teach to the test, which dulls even the best learning experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The SAT is a barometer for an education system that has lost its way. American education needs a counterrevolution and counterrevolutions are not about going backward or being stagnant. They succeed when groups restore traditional values with new tools or systems. The CLT is fit for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/professor-praises-sat-shortening-exams-give-students-more-time-not-applying-join-bomb-squad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PROFESSOR PRAISES SAT SHORTENING EXAMS TO GIVE STUDENTS MORE TIME: NOT \u2018APPLYING TO JOIN A BOMB SQUAD\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Young students thrive in structured environments that acknowledge excellence. Classical education, which informs the CLT\u2019s format and content, provides that needed discipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Classical education is a traditional\u00a0approach\u00a0to teaching the liberal arts that makes Western civilization\u2019s history and intellectual triumphs accessible to young minds. Students acquire\u00a0cultural literacy\u00a0from this educational approach. The more culturally literate students are \u2013 the more they are familiar with the widest range of social and political phenomena \u2013 the more social mobility and resources they can expect to have in life. <\/p>\n<p>The CLT exam has verbal and grammar questions based on Western civilization\u2019s greatest thinkers, testing students on their Western cultural literacy, not their ability to take a standardized test.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, the SAT is the test for yesterday\u2019s higher education system. The 2016 sample SAT, which includes reading, writing and math sections, contains wildly divergent texts whose disconnected content serves to block accusations of cultural bias from a pro-equity education system that no longer wants standardized testing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/asian-american-student-1590-sat-score-rejected-by-6-elite-colleges-blames-affirmative-action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ASIAN-AMERICAN STUDENT WITH 1590 SAT SCORE REJECTED BY 6 ELITE COLLEGES, BLAMES AFFIRMATIVE ACTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The SAT misses the mark because it overcompensates for diversity and inclusion concerns with verbal reasoning questions that touch on non-Western culture, capitalist consumerism and climate change. The result is an overly broad examination of information and factoids, not an assessment of knowledge. This misapplication is particularly bad because public education is falling apart and hurting families without the resources for private schools or SAT tutoring.<\/p>\n<p>As an adjunct professor, I support required standardized testing for college admissions, but I also recognize a sinking ship when I see one. Around\u00a02,000 colleges\u00a0\u2013 roughly\u00a050%\u00a0of degree-granting institutions \u2013 will not require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/new-mexico-eliminates-need-pass-standardized-testing-students-track-graduate-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">standardized tests for fall 2024 admissions<\/a>. To stay relevant, the SAT will make its questions DEI-palatable, and subsequently more unhelpful as an assessment tool for college preparedness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I want applicants to take standardized tests because the exams set a baseline for college readiness. That is why I am optimistic about the CLT as a new test that can reinvigorate liberal education in this country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The CLT is not just a test. As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/classical-learning-schools-grow-across-us-latest-push-challenge-public-school-dominance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">culminating exercise of classical education<\/a>, the CLT is the consummation of a superior K-12 experience that elevates students\u2019 capacities for success in higher education and as members of society. Those outcomes triumph over the\u00a0documented failures\u00a0of K-12 schools or colleges to instill critical thinking skills. America\u2019s children deserve better than what they\u2019re getting now from our education system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/liberal-arts-colleges-face-existential-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traditional liberal arts education<\/a> are the vanguard of the counterrevolution that must take place in our schools.
