I'm not dead. Just busy. Because school is a butt and doesn't want to give you time to do everything you want to do. I've never been up to my neck in work like this before. Earlier in the year I was fine but then my teachers thought making my life difficult was fun. So that explains my long absence. Well, guess what? School lets out May 25! You guys think you can wait until then? I hope you can because I have plans to update You Can't Help Who You Love and even rewrite some older stories of mine. So bear with me, please!
America just wants to crap on its students and throw a bunch of mandatory standardized tests down on us. I'm not even kidding. I've already done about 3 and my next one comes next week and it's awfully confusing. Administration keeps saying that each tests counts toward graduation but then we come to find out it's just to check your progress throughout the school year, so all anyone's asking is "What test actually counts for something?"
Well, it's a mess. But hope for the best. Once May 25th comes and passes expect me to get active again.
I actually finished up PARCC yesterday. Yes, its a standardized test. School won't let up until late june.
Yeah, they'll tell you anything to get you to work your butt off on those tests. 'Cause what those tests really count for is their budget.
3885675 Oh my god, the PARCC is still around? I thought they cancelled it after last year's fiasco when it first came out! That test made no sense. They put material on there that I wouldn't learn until two years later! Over where I am, they've fired the PARCC people (so they say) and have made new tests called AIR and PROCore, and then you have your standard national PSAT/SAT and ACT things along with your state's test.
3885730 You're not lying.
3885918 it differs from state to state. And they said parcc might actually count towards high school graduation and stuff.
