the FCAT is back

What is the point of school? I mean I understand that I need a basic foundation of knowledge that will allow me to function properly in society... but I think I have pretty much grasped that in the last 12 years of schooling. Why aren't seniors exempt from their second semester?! Seriously.

Tomorrow morning I need to give the student body tips on how to do WELL on the FCAT. Because 66% of our junior class failed the FCAT reading last year. How depressing is that, nearly 330 students FAILED the FCAT. How does one go about doing that? Falling asleep, playing tic-tac-toe against yourself, or maybe just contemplating suicide by boredom?

Anyways, what tips can you give to FCAT students?!?!?

  1. That's really sad... I mean, I'm not the smartest cookie, but seriously, how do you "fail" the FCAT? Mango, I think that the best think to do is to bs the lecture, and say things like, "go to the easy ones first." "Eat well and have confidence." I mean, what else can you tell kids who fail the FCAT?
