edit - oops, - she's actually already passed this particular test - she's prepping for a math one next. But the underlying point remains the same.
I need some help figuring this one out....
Just what IS Playmaker (10th grade) supposed to focus on for the Long Composition portion of the upcoming MCAS test (for which a passing grade is required to graduate from high school here in our "progressive" state) since she was instructed NOT to be concerned with spelling, grammar or punctuation?
Note: I actually thought about saving this for a "Funny Friday" post but since it's true(!) I think it's too sad to qualify :(

Ridiculous....as long as they can follow the basic formula of Thesis Statement, roughly 4 -5 paragraphs to support, and a conclusion, it doesn't matter about the spelling and grammar....oh, neat enough to read is a good thing...points off if the readers can't read it.
wow-I'm not even sure how to respond to that one. And we wonder why those in gov. sound as ridiculous as they do.
Perhaps creativity in writing and though is an innate quality. If so why test for it?
though(t) Sorry I can help myself with spelling and grammar
