Yeah. It’s because you have the kind of brain that makes it easy for you to see how the test makers think. That’s a good skill to have. You apply that to people, seeing where they’re coming from early on you can make a lot of money. You can’t be a ****ing weird-o though

Hey, I got an idea! Why don’t you submit your research to UCSD and maybe they’ll upgrade your GED or whatever the **** you have into a Ph.D. Then you can really get your feet wet. Learn those state standards and design your curriculum then spoon feed it bit by bit to third graders. Meet with their mothers tell them it doesn’t matter what they did all year they blew one ****ing test and now they’re being retained. Then next year when test season rolls around and the kid pisses himself in class and starts crying you can deal with it because guidance is closed because all the counselors are being used to figure out how all the students are going to be tested during the allotted time window. Meanwhile, you’re caring for the psychological well-being of some kid who pissed himself so you’re not “hitting the standard”. And bam three of your students are being retained next year. But hey it’s cool. There’s a data sheet put together by people getting rich off selling the tests, billions a year, you’re just a singular data point. Oh **** your student’s mother overdosed on heroin two weeks before the test. Guidance is closed. She’s not even trying during the second hour of the math test. She’s sitting there crying. ****. It’s distracting the entire class. Her best friend is asking what’s wrong. Get the hall monitor proctor. **** her personal life this is a state mandated test. Or you could take her in the hallway yourself since you’re the one the kid knows and has trusted all year. What you left the students unattended for three minutes during the test. The whole class’ tests could be invalidated. You’re called before arbitration. You were out of compliance. Bill Gates and the Clintons and the entire Democratic Party agree. You’re a great guy but we got to care for the kids and get your incompetent ass out of the classroom. Look at your VAM scores! They’re pitiful.

I’m not telling you my story. ****, my lower quartile numbers got me tenured. It’s not sour grapes. I lived it. You can say but but but but 4 out of 5 all the **** you want. 4 out 5 people would be dead certain Bruno Mars is more talented than Mark E Smith except they never heard The Fall but it doesn’t matter because they can’t think critically about music, neo-liberalism, whatever ****ing war, these stupid ****ing tests and what the **** else. I’m one data point that thinks The Fall are ****ing unassailable. But 999 out of 1000 disagree. Maybe my speakers are ****ed up. How could this be?
Unbunch your panties miss. I'm not disagreeing with a single word you said. Just pointing out a majority do disagree with you.

Damn straight. Bruno Mars is a class act.

I've honestly never heard anyone defend standardized testing. Everyone in my field is extremely anti and part of the reason I went into education was in hopes of one day helping to kill it.

Nah, Plankton is your dad. You can tell by how disappointed in you he is.
