My students are currently taking the big California test, known as STAR. It tests students in Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. It is a grueling weeklong process that involves four hours of testing daily...not to mention all the exams I have given my kids to prepare them for the big day and ensure they are on track. In honor of this abuse we have institutionalized on our children, there should be some humor to get us back laughing instead of sweating with anxiety over such high-stakes testing. Enjoy!
