Reuters Exclusive: ACT partners with test-prep firms despite signs of cheating in Asia

Uh oh… you know it’s only a matter of time before your #1 fan starts accusing you of being a Reuters guy again. Let’s see how long before he sees your post.

Thanks for the update!

Is there even a school in Korea called Seoul Scholars International School? I have heard of Seoul International School, but I have never heard of Seoul Scholars International School. Did Reuters just decide to add “Scholars” to the name of a well-known international school in Korea and expect nobody to notice?

Based on the assumption that there really is such a school, although I am really beginning to become flabbergasted at the extent to which a media company can lie and not be held accountable for the stuff it just makes up out of thin air, what proof is there that any commercial test prep companies affiliated with the aforementioned school/s actually had any involvement in the cheating scandals of late?

As the title of this article suggests, shouldn’t we be looking for actual signs of cheating, not making wild conjectures that just because there is some sort of “a conflict of interest,” there must surely also be cheating?

Absolute garbage not even worth reading or even commenting on.

That didn’t take too long!

Too funny!

I’m not defending the article nor Reuters because I couldn’t care less if ACT partners with test prep companies or not (but it definitely seems to me a conflict of interest), but…

“Seoul Scholars International” is the name of the school. Reuters did not just make up the name.

You’re right.

How in the world did a bunch of former SAT, TOEFL, and ACT instructors suddenly become head teachers, CEOs, and head advisors of some private high school?

This is sensational or am I delusional?
