Answer: Homeschool.
I want to see him in chains and a monitoring device attached to his ankle. Have his Cheerios checked for toys, too.
"You look out one day at school and see your principal flying by a window"
"He's asked, "So why didn't you answer that question?" "
That's not a question!
I'm sorry am I missing something? This kid sounds like brat who wouldn't do his work. While the school should have just failed him on the test (calling the mom was bizarre) I'm not really feeling sorry for this punk who wasn't smart enough to make up some stupid crap up to get though the test. And as a mother of a third grader and seventh grader I am sick of these parents who are not teaching there kids respect and yes even sometimes when you know its stupid.
Seems the crybaby is running the school and the adult is taking the tests.
IMO, it's useless with or without coercion. That question he refused to answer was a psychological test. Since when are children who are not showing signs of emotional disturbance subjected to that kind of test?
>>WASL opponents also believe the principal and teachers broke the law by interfering with the WASL test. <<
So what's WASL? Whining as second language?
Who wrote this? A third-grader?
The truth is the test scores reflect on the school as much as they do the kid. The principle was acting in his own self interest in trying to make the school look better ahead of the interest of the child.
Sounds like the principal thought he was a superhero and wanted to hear nothing but praise from the kid.
The highest intelligence is being able to recognize a nonsense question -- and not answer it.
Standardized state-administered assessment test.
Can you say, "Funding?" I knew you could.
I was a gimme question. Gotta keep those scores up!
The test he was taking reflects on the school. The reason they wanted him to finish it is because they get funding based on how well the students do on the test....so who ever called the kid a brat and needed to do his homework, read the article.
"You look out one day at school and see your principal flying by a window. In several paragraphs write what happens next."
The Engineering Club declares their re-creation of a medieval trebuchet a success?
Sounds as if the school was trying to boost its scores on the standardized test. I wonder if any other kids left questions/tasks blank.
Hehe, reminds me of the quote:
"Forget it, Mazer. I don't care if I pass your test, I don't care if I follow your rules. If you can cheat, so can I. I won't let you beat me unfairly - I'll beat you unfairly first."
Ender's Game
Creative writing is WAY overrated!
If they absolutely MUST have a response, they should have asked for something that had nothing to do with the principal. The idea of this was totally idiotic. The person who dreamed this up should have been suspended.
