Obviously see is a distractor question. There is nothing relevant there obviously. Obviously. A and b are plausible. Either of those actually make sense. If you are confused, just Google Google them and they we will make more sense to you shortly. In all in all seriousness we all know probably everyone in this room has taken a test a standardized test at one point or another. There nothing new. Theyve been around for a long time but it seems like were living in a moment where the stakes attached to tests have never been higher. Not only do standardized tests determine a childs future in many cases but they can determine the future of the teacher working with that child the future of principals and administrators the guidance counselor, the gym teacher, the music teacher, the teacher, the art teacher everybodys fate, sometimes the whole schools fate can be bound up with the results of a test or even the fate of all districts.

Only possible criticism is that they scheduled me right up against mr. Gwyn next door. I used to teach civil war history. Lots of books come out on the civil war but not many of them are as good as his book rebel yell. Of all of possible people to be scheduled up against i find that a little daunting coin. Thank you for being here. Is event must be full. Second i thank my host j. Ford was my host last night, took me to a wonderful dinner, the only possible qualm i have with that is took me after the authors reception, it was very late and was the pink house. They brought me a piece of fish that is bigger than a plate, the tailstock out on one end and there was so much food that i am stuff and i figure i have to speak. The only wise than i did was liquor too. I turned down the wine and liquor and dime stuff from that food. I was not so lucky at lunch. I had a wonderful pleasure of you probably know him. A wonderful daughter and couldnt restrain on of liquor, not being there with sunny.

Its being proposed in other states as well but it is here. However it doesnt affect what happens in the rooms of the school so when kids are taking their test the system knows whether their parents are divorced. They dont take into account good days or bad days or that we know the kids
