god, i hate you...

my thoughts on aim-speak? STFU! I'm typing fast as hell n i'm entitled to some shortenings and grammatical and spelling errors. I'm not taking a damn state test...

...speaking of state tests, and back on topic, I'm not sure if ne one here knows about Regents. NY State requires their public high school students to complete a state test called the Regents Exams. It was at one point among the most intellectually challenging state exams given to high school students in america. In recent years, the average grades have been declining on these exams, so politicians disregard the goal of the department of education to further intellectual development of our children and keep the tests as they are, and put money into schools to actually school us, and instead appease to the average parent who would like to see nothing more than their child leave their household to go off to college, and thus, make the test easier. Yes, every year, the regents exam has become an easier test because students keep failing, and by state law, unable to graduate without a passing grade. Guaranteed, if the regents were as difficult as they were several years ago, half the tards graduating today would be held back and schooled properly. I'm not exactly the brightest crayon in the box, but i know when america is being given to the dogs.
