MCA - YAY!!

This week at school we take the MCAs Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm a sophomore and I take the reading test. I'm sooooooo glad I'm not taking the math this year. We did practices in my math class and they were so hard!! I got at least 3 wrong on each practice. So, I think I can wait another year to take that one. We have to pass all of our MCAs to graduate. In 9th grade we take writing, 10th grade we take reading, and 11th grade we take math. Senior year is free of MCAs so far but maybe someday they'll add one. Who knows?? I just think all the testing is stupid. It just makes everyone nervous and uptight. I mean if someone doesn't deserve to graduate they probably won't be passing all of their classes. Right? Isn't that enough? No, the gov't says we have to be able to pass all these tests not just our classes. The gov't shouldn't have the right to tell schools what to do. The teachers should get the right to say what kids should have to be able to do to graduate. They're the ones that work with us everyday. They know us. I guess we can't do anything about it though. That's just how things are. We have to suck it up and pass all the dumb tests. Yay, I'm so excited...
