FCAT Week

FCAT... A standardized test that is required according to the Sunshine State Standards. Also a test that the teachers want to kill.
And burn.
And rip apart.
For the poor kids who are at the line between fail/not failing, this is everything to them. It's the factor between if they are held back.
Except... If you DO fail it... Well... Maybe you NEED to be held back.
So it's good.
Right?
Wrong.
If you get really sick and can't make it to school, then you might "fail" it.
If ONE PERSON'S cell phone makes noises during the test, then the ENTIRE class is disqualified.
ONE PERSON.
Uggggh.......
Two+ hours of boring passages.
The only passage that people liked was "Spelling Yiff-niff". Which was disappointing because they never told you how it's spelled. I know it's not a world, but still.

Hey, guess what... I'm on the FRENCH REVOLUTION in history!
It's sooo boring. The people here love making fun of the French because they never won any wars and yada yada yada.
I just find them boring because it's my history homework, so that's my job.

Don't you just rejoice in finding out that a creepy person lives less than two blocks away from you and that s/he could easily walk over to your house, walk along the side of your house, turn into your backyard, look into the nearest window, knock on it, and find themselves looking into your room as you do your homework, solve your Rubik's Cube, or work on your grenades? I personally find that scary. Not the grenade part, though.
