MCAS

The last two days our entire sophomore class has been taking MCAS. Well maybe not the whole class. There is no other way to describe MCAS as anything else but torture but also a huge waste of paper. The sounds through out the room are the sniffles from allergies, the scratching of pencils against paper, and the screeching of the pencil sharpeners. I felt like we didn’t review enough of what we learned last year because when it came to finding slope, I was clueless. And who’s great idea was it to give a standardized test to every kid in Massachusetts and then say, “hey you need to pass this to graduate.” ummm alright then. Good job state of Massachusetts, you’ve inspired many to drop out of high school because they couldn’t pass a test. On the brighter side, I have another prom this weekend. I think I’m looking forward to this one more since I actually have something to do after. Softball is also ending this week, THANK GOD. Playing games in the rain isn’t the best of time and when you lose to Mohawk…you know you have a problem.
