Test tinkering: TEA schools could adopt SAT while colleges reduce its role

The Texas Education Agency currently utilizes the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness — STAAR — tests that change every few years as curricula and test scores change. STAAR is a big part of students’ academic progress; passage of the certain tests is required in order to pass certain grades. Some state officials now suggest tying the STAAR more closely to the SAT, a test many high school students take as a college entrance exam. While the SAT remains popular among educators — many high schools in the Rio Grande Valley and elsewhere require all seniors to take it — it, and other exams such as the ACT, are losing popularity among universities. As the viral threat wanes, many schools have announced that they don’t consider the test as important anymore.

Here’s How US States Differ on Carrying Guns in Public

In the US, where the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution, states have differing policies on who can carry concealed weapons in public. Pro-gun activists have made headway in recent years by getting more states to stop requiring permits to do so. (Openly carrying weapons, a distinct but related issue, is also subject to state-by-state laws.) Now the Supreme Court has struck down New York’s law that required people to show a special need to carry a handgun in public, ruling for the first time that the Second Amendment protects gun rights outside the home.
