This is ABSURD.!!!

Like i always do before i have inappropriate comments on my blog posts, i'm apologizing ahead of time. My grammar and language used isn't very sophisticated or appropriate but Preston asked for absurd, so he's getting absurd.

Absurd: Wildly unreasonable, illogical or inappropriate .
Or as i like to say, f**kin ridiculous.

The thing i find absurd in life was actually inspired by school this week.
What did we do you may ask? We had CST's otherwise known as star testing. Those test have to be the most ABSURD way of defining a student to ever hit the planet. The test is pretty much filled with a bunch of pointless crap about 90 % of us will never use past high school and the state feels like it's a good way to understand the students education. But look at the facts California ! You put students in a small classroom for two to three hours and test them on questions from way back when and still have the audacity to feel the need to word the test questions in difficult ways that are supposedly supposed to "make us think". Do you guys really think that's the way to understand how smart a student is? Cramming them in a room with 5 subjects we're all forced to take? Over a third of the students BS their way through them and don't even read the questions anyways! You're not only wasting our time but you're also fooling yourselves. If we need standardized testing so much then why don't they give the CST to all working men and women in California every year and determine if that means they're qualified to do their jobs? News flash!, more than a third of them wouldn't pass it.! You claim we need testing to be better leaders of the world yet you lack the knowledge of what we test in yourselves? How bout you roll to Obama's house and ask him to find the sum of an infinite geometric series and determine whether or not he's smart enough to run the country? I'm sorry but standardized testing AIN'T SH*T.!  Stop being hypocrites, you guys don't know half the crap  your dishing out and you're trying to categorize teenagers based on it. That my friends is ABSURD. Standardized testing never has made sense and never will make sense and quite frankly, i find it ab to the frikken surd to think it's ok to judge us all on it.
