Illinois drops writing from standardized exam , thus saves 2.4 million dollars. I guess not teaching them to read is next ??? Oh and don't miss this part the students will still need to know how to write for SAT test , but it doesn't say how this learning will be insured or if Illinois cares ??

And the end of the writing section on state standardized exams for now doesn't mean students won't be tested on their writing at all. Many Advanced Placement exams given in May require writing, and the SAT college entrance exam has a writing requirement.
