We have a thing called TASS and Taks test. These are tests taken from as early as 3rd grade all the way to senior year. (IF you don’t score high enough). They f*****g hound you so much about this shit. It is ridicules! I scored very high and got academic recognition but I've been thinking a lot.. Now days, they set a certain way for you to right a paper. It's almost like they are trying to turn us into to robots by doing this shit. What ever happen to creative writing? Down the gutter. They have been debating about this on the news a lot. I would rather write my own style and write more than to learn a certain style of writing and take a stupid ass test. I mean shit, they put so much pressure on little kids to pass the tass. I know because I went through that shit. They even have stupid pencils made for the f*****g Tass.. It is just DUMB !! They are trying to make changes in the school system to change this b******t. Hopefully they succeed.

Obviously, these tests are lacking in the difficulty department.

Obviously, you don't know what the f**k you are talking about.

It use to be easy but it got harder over the years. I still scored really well though.

Even for me, that is horrible.

But can anyone tell me who this f*g is? First he posts about having ****, which is 110% fake now that I have evidence. Then he posts worse than paden does... Sorry paden but you used to post like a choad.

What ever, but this guy is insane.

Accountability = measurement. Measurement = standardization. Standardization = mediocrity. The price for eliminating striking failures is eliminating striking successes. When everything is the same, nobody gets blamed.

I took Taks, Texas Assessment of Knowledge or something few months ago and it was pretty easy. Made 95+ on all of the tests so i was exempt from all exams so I am not complaining. Where in texas you live brolly.

Heh, no not really Smile I see that happen in a lot of areas. When there are failures, people get blamed, so they start measuring and standardizing so they can eliminate the failures. But when you force everything into a standard mold, you stifle creativity. The reason for constant testing and measuring is verify that the standards are being adhered to. By definition, a standardized process shouldn't produce surprises, good or bad. I see it as a choice: uniform mediocrity, or peaks and valleys. Mediocrity is safer, but probably worse for society as a whole.

I agree with you. That is why I don't agree with the way Texas teaches.

I live in houston Clev.

Sunk, show me all of these words i mispelled. I am not a great speller. Then again I am fluent in spanish speaking and writing. Still , that is not much of an exuse =) .

Well this morning this hot chick named Julie(hot ass track girl) woke me up by tapping on my window.. I was home alone and we started to mess around she got down to her thong and I was BUTT NAKEDDDDDDD ! I wasn't feeling so good because of a stomach ache. So I really couldn't get as hard as I usally do .. In Fact it was almost limp. Well I was on top of her and i noticed her nipples ARE f*****g WHITE !!!!!! She is TAN ! EWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I mean... It's not that big of a deal cause she is hot but..... It really turned me off. So like 10 mins later I was like well i got to take a shower and get ready for work. She was like , noooo just a few more minutes . I chuckled and told her I didn't have much time. So she layed there almost naked and I was like i'll see ya later. I came back out after showering and shaving only to find her on top of my bed with clothes and my room made ! I finally got her to leave though, she wanted to take me to work.. Danm, I wish I wasn't sick but then again those nipples threw me off ...

Just off the bat, ridicules = ridiculous, and right = write.

Also, a fucktop lot of grammar and shit. If you want to explore your creativity so much, may I suggest exploring a middle school English book first?
