June 24, 201016 yr My dad was talking about stuff he got at the store this morning, he was all like "I got an onion, potatoes, and carrots," and I said, "Yeah. I got an 800." it was sooooooo lolz. except not really it was just lolz because I'm freaking high right now.
June 24, 201016 yr Hmmmmm... Anyone live close to Boston?:awesome: Because I am considering going to college there. EDIT: Marisa, I think you should restore the backup. But if you want to be sure, you could look it up under help or something.

But if you want to be sure, you could look it up under help or something. Come to college in Philly :cheesy: That's what I'm thinking, but I'm afraid of loosing everything on my ipod. IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS NO
June 24, 201016 yr I could do that too:cheesy: Anywhere outside of NY so these stupid regents exams grades don't follow me.....
June 24, 201016 yr EWW THAT LITTLE GIRL JUST KISSED HER MOM ON THE LIPS :thinking: *changes channel* What a terrible show Barney is :lol:
June 24, 201016 yr I could do that too:cheesy: Anywhere outside of NY so these stupid regents exams grades don't follow me..... :wacky: What's a regents exam? :thinking:
June 24, 201016 yr The ridiculous exams that the state of NY make you take, which you must pass to graduate. I'm sure your state has some sort of exam, right? if so, it's probably kind of like that, except ridiculously hard.
June 24, 201016 yr Some of ours are easy, and some of them are so challenging that they have to create an extreme curve where people who just barely pass get 100s. Which doesn't make much sense to me at all. If you have to curve it that much there is obviously a problem.
June 24, 201016 yr hey guys, my dad's been working way too much lately, so to make him feel better I just baked him "commiseration brownies" with "WORK SUCKS" spelled out in chocolate chips on top :wacko:
June 24, 201016 yr We have standardized tests every year which are easy and they do nothing but show the government what we do or don't know. Junior year we take the HSPA which you have to pass to graduate. They're not hard, just annoying. But colleges don't look at them, only your school and maybe the government.
June 24, 201016 yr Like, how hard ARE they exactly? :wtf: Hmmmm. It's kind of hard to explain. But like I said, they have to use enormous curves. But some of them are easy. One of them is global history. That one is laughably easy.
June 24, 201016 yr Hmmmm. It's kind of hard to explain. But like I said, they have to use enormous curves. But some of them are easy. One of them is global history. That one is laughably easy. You have one that you have to pass for each subject in order to graduate? Weird.
June 24, 201016 yr Zoe that's awesome! :D Can I have one? :cheesy: nope, but I'm having one right now :cheesy: :P

Blahhh, I hate you. :P I suppose it's a good thing that NYS has the best education system in the country and everything, but it seems kind of pointless to me. :shrug: I guess I don't really know, but it's hard for me to see what benefits these tests really have.
June 24, 201016 yr Kentucky has the second-highest high school dropout rate in the country. Count yourself lucky.
June 24, 201016 yr nope, but I'm having one right now :cheesy: :P :angry: Blahhh, I hate you. :P I suppose it's a good thing that NYS has the best education system in the country and everything, but it seems kind of pointless to me. :shrug: I guess I don't really know, but it's hard for me to see what benefits these tests really have. Yeah I really don't see the point to any kind of standardized testing either. New Jersey is also obsessed with having the best scores :rolleyes: And because of that we don't get final exemptions any more, not even seniors. It's funny because when I'm taking the test it's like "oh it doesn't matter what the hell" and then you get scores back and it's like "I wish colleges saw these"
