Christiano Felicio
Taking his SAT, hopefully he does well.
@Felicio_06: In two hours, I'm going to do one of the most important test of my life. Much better prepared this time! Hopefully it will work! SAT time

Like his attitude. I bet he did well, and look forward to seeing him play next season.

Re: Christiano Felicio
Yeah, I think at this point we should expect him not to qualify. If he does qualify, that would be awesome though. There is another SAT test taking period around the beginning of June, so he still has a shot to make it.

I don't imagine that the UO is allowed to assist in any way, like say a test tutor?

Re: Christiano Felicio
I think people should get more indignant about a kid who can't pass the SAT than a kid who gets busted for smoking weed. It's a much worse problem for both the individual and society. I think it's pretty unreasonable how many people are left unprepared after thirteen years of education (K-12). It's not that hard of a test.

Re: Christiano Felicio
Considering he's only been in the US for a year and still improving his English, there's no reason to really go hard on him. Plus, getting busted for anything by the cops shows a lack of good judgement on when to do something and how poorly someone follows the law.Tray Dub wrote:I think people should get more indignant about a kid who can't pass the SAT than a kid who gets busted for smoking weed.

Re: Christiano Felicio
I don't agree with your second sentence, but I wasn't aware he's only been in the US for a year. So for him my opinion doesn't apply, though I still consider it true.greenyellow wrote:Considering he's only been in the US for a year and still improving his English, there's no reason to really go hard on him.

And I don't really think we should be hard on the student necessarily. The responsibility to educate a child has to lie more on the educational system and less on the child. That's less the case the older the student gets, but still applies even for high schoolers.
But now that I'm aware of Felicio's situation, this is all off topic because it doesn't apply to him... My bad :/

Re: Christiano Felicio
Looks like we have a teacher
The teachers union is one of many issues our education system thrives on every single day.

Re: Christiano Felicio
Whether anyone accepts the idea or not, there are definite concepts built into the SATs that would be difficult for a young man from another culture or country could experience difficulty preparing for.
