You know what really grinds my gears? Standardized Tests. Seriously, what's the whole purpose of them? Yeah, why not just waste away your week taking some stupid test! I just took a Language Arts test today. ON A MONDAY! Seriously, Monday is my "Get out of the Weekend gaming daze" day, but no, I get to blow my future because I'm tired!
I don't understand how filling in circles, picture prompts and sitting in a classroom for 2-3 hours on end is supposed to determine your future! Is this just another conspiracy we're not supposed to know about? Is this just another means of "Keeping the teenage man down"? Ok, I know that was cliche, but I'm in a rush, so I'll get to the point. Standardized Tests are pointless and stupid.
And just when I think that there's a positive thing to this whole testing thing, I GET HIT WITH TWO RESEARCH PAPERS! I'm talking to a friend of mine in the hallway, and guess what? My History teacher comes out of nowhere and thrusts an assignment into our hands! He said "You can start hating me now! [Insert villainous laugh here]" Now I love the guy, coolest teacher I've had in years, but hunting us down in the hallway to give us a 3-5 page paper is a little ridiculous, don't you think?
I thought testing week meant no homework. Has this one idea become a myth as well? Like weekends?
Anyone else feel my pain?
