In New York state, some parents are complaining that the new standardized tests are “too hard” for their children.
Just waiting for some Democrat to propose free answer keys for the underprivileged.

Hell, I’ve already done it for the children. When do those buggers start to “give back,” anyway?
Only if they have coldsores.
YGDFTYLTATSOTE!
Miss Anony, you need to fix your link.
Give the kids the answer keys? How ridiculous! That’s completely backwards. Look, these tests they’re multiple choice am I right? So if you want to help the children improve their scores all you have to do is reduce the number of choices.
EX: was is the sum of 3+3?
a.) red
b.) 6
c.) the same as 5+1
d.) false
I know we’re all about the funny but seriously (sorry) we need to get a grip on this education thing. Otherwise people like Stewie are going to be running the government in 40 years and while I’ll be long gone the rest of you youngsters (over 30, under 50) are going to be put on the first one trip to Alpha centauri that is if you survive the death panels or whatever they choose to call them.
Pretty soon the SAT test will consist of “What word do those three letters spell?”
Giving everyone the answer key might actually help them learn. No, the Democrats will instead make the questions easier.
Scholastic Aptitude Test?
Scholastic Assessment Test?
Scholastic Ability Test?
No, I’m sorry, we were looking for Stanford Achievement Test. Please try again next year.
Missy’s probably spent the last hour looking for an edit button, Jimmy.

@4 – I fixed her link.
@6: Alpha Centauri? I hear the Grays are from there. But I’m ready!
*Signals Grays: NO PROBING!*
@11. Oh honey after the screwing we’re getting from the people who are supposed to be “public servants” a little probing might not be so very bad. It’s all relative, you know. (keep it clean now)
seanmahair, I think the phrase “public servants” is alien to over half of America. Remember, it’s our generation who mistakenly grew-up thinking that the notion of “honest public service” guided our citizenry and representatives. (Strangely, I think Frank thinks it’s still dominant, as well, which is either a testimony to his youthful inexperience or stubborn hopefulness, or both.)
Is it too late to declare New York a third world socialist state?
You can count on the NY dems to dumb down the test…if people started to get too smart they might become Republicans or Libertarians.
I know this is long but I think it describes New York politics to a tee. From the play 1776, John Hancock presiding to Mr Lewis Morris representative of the colony of New York.
Lewis Morris: [as John Hancock is about to swat a fly] Mr. Secretary, New York abstains, courteously.
[Hancock raises his fly swatter at Morris, then draws back]
John Hancock: Mr. Morris,
[pause, then shouts]
John Hancock: WHAT IN HELL GOES ON IN NEW YORK?
Lewis Morris: I’m sorry Mr. President, but the simple fact is that our legislature has never sent us explicit instructions on anything!
John Hancock: NEVER?
[slams fly swatter onto his desk]
John Hancock: That’s impossible!
Lewis Morris: Mr. President, have you ever been present at a meeting of the New York legislature?
[Hancock shakes his head “No”]
Lewis Morris: They speak very fast and very loud, and nobody listens to anybody else, with the result that nothing ever gets done.
[turns to the Congress as he returns to his seat]
Lewis Morris: I beg the Congress’s pardon.
John Hancock: [grimly] My sympathies, Mr. Morris.
If only nothing ever got done in politics! Well, after 1776. And all the good parts in between then and now, but none of the bad stuff.
