An Open Letter to FCAT (Florida’s Standardized Test for you lucky bastards who don’t live here)
You suck. Somehow you seem to think you can assess everyone in a 58 question multiple choice test administered over 2 days. To make this better you penalize kids for being fast readers. If I finish before time is over I’m left staring in pure silence for hours. To make this better you punish kids for reading slowly, because they can’t finish. You punish kids who need sound to concentrate. You make everyone miserable.
Best Wishes,
Lizzie
This is an idea stolen from Crash Course on YouTube. Basically FCAT is a test that tells the state about kids who fall in their perfect bubble of medium speed readers who can work in silence and tortures the rest of us till we are unrecognizable. Yay!
May life be as awesome as you are and DFTBA!
