TAKS testing

[dancergirlsasha]

I've had MCAS, which is Massachusetts's take on testing. Sadly, I have it again in May. And probably again after that. They're really quite obbsessed with it around here, all of the school's curriculum revolves around it. And there are posters everywhere about how to answer MCAS open response questions correctly, plus they are always having assemblies about it, and to get the boys all hyped up, they compare MCAS to sports (which is like the most pathetic analogy ever) and the principal is all like "WE ARE A TEAM! LIKE THE RED SOX! WE MUST WIN THE WORLD SERIES!" since everything around here revolves around MCAS. And the Red Sox. It's quite funny actually, but the teachers give you dirty looks if you start laughing out loud, so I now pretend to cough during these assemblies.

I circle the answers in the test booklet, then I copy them onto my scantron, and then I review each question and I still finish before most of the people in my class.
On the English portion, I write a rough draft in the test booklet for my essay and my short answers, and then I copy those onto the answer sheet...and still, done before anyone. And I only missed one question.

Well here in Texas this week is all about the TAKS test today we had the Math TAKS and it sucked the sophmores and juniors have Science and History TAKS test on thursday and friday. Is anyone else having tests?

Truthfully, the history and the math portion were pretty easy. It was sitting in class for three hours after w/o my iPod afterwards that sucked!

yeah, i had to take the math taks on thursday and the reading one a long time ago too. we had to wait for one person to finish in our room and that took forever.

i hate TAKS.
