Testing Testing Over Testing

Entertaining myself at work today Easier if I did not have a glass wall But I do and I am right across from the sign in sheet. People see and they scoff. Probably thinking this is all that I do. It is all I am doing this week. The children are testing, testing, testing, testing, and testing. School used to be fun. Not anymore. We have made sure of that. Remember how we looked forward to the one BIG test? The students today have so many little ones, they do not care about it at all. This is reflected in their scores too. Reminds me of my twin sister Who used to use the ovals on the answer sheet to make birds, rabbits, roosters and the like. Which means she had to use an entire row sometimes. Probably invalidating her test, but she likes entertaining herself too.

I used to fret over tests in school, but now that I deal with bills, and pills, and climbing up hills, (hey I just wrote a poem!) the tests are, at best, a bothersome pest (OK I gotta thank you for inspiring this out of thin air, Caren!)
