They have elementary kids stressed out months before they actually administer the test. Better learn how to handle that stress early. Think how stressed out they're going to be when they can't handle paying the rent.

I said to my secretary, "If I gave you twelve grand minus fourteen per cent, how much would you take off?" She said, "Everything but my earrings."You forgot this.
Reminds me of the teenage mother who was failing math because she couldn't do arithmetic--the teacher told her it was too bad she couldn't add because unfortunately she sure could multiply.

Nearly one in four Seattle Public Schools sophomores is missing required credits and has been reclassified as a freshman, potentially delaying graduation. Why is them not getting a good education? They reporters is using good grammar, no?

The Union does not care about the students.
The Union's goal is to get the teachers to pay their union dues to the union.
