Writing On SAT

NYT and Wash. Post look at the new SAT writing section. Pretty predictable Patrick Welsh article in The Post’s Outlook, interesting op-ed by Curtis Sittenfeld in The Times. Outlook is valuable real estate, what about soliciting pieces from some other area teachers (like, for instance, one Curtis Sittenfeld who teaches at St. Albans)? If Edu Commentary’s email is any indication there are many that write ably and have a lot of interesting things to say.

In today’s Post, Michael Dobbs (who incidentally just won some awards for his impromptu coverage of the tsunami disaster) looks at the new SAT, as well, very worth reading.
