I'm fed up. I'm fucking finished. Okay, so I'm in tenth grade and I've gotta pass the FCAT this year if I want to graduate. No problem. The FCAT is fucking easy. So, "Why?" I ask myself. "Why, when this standardized test is so easy, do we waste so much time in school learning about how to take it?" Last year, I just picked (prettymuch) random answers and I ended up missing 6 questions. Thats it. I could pass this test if I wanted to, too bad I hate it so much, eh? This is gonna suck for you Lely(and hopefully other highschools as well), but I've already got people started on it. Boycott the FCAT. Don't even write your name on the test. I know many of you may be scared that it will mess with your opportunities. I've got just as much to lose as many of you, but its not stopping me. This action is useless unless we can get as many people as possible to join in. Lets make out high schools "F" schools. I'm not a big fan of school, but I get decent grades and plan on going to college. If you will join me in this alliance against the FCAT, imagine what it could do. If we make a big enough difference in Collier County, maybe other kids in other counties will follow the trend. ???I would really like for this to work. But it can only work with the help of all of you. Tell everyone you know.
Alright, I'll admit it, theres nothing wrong with the math section of the FCAT. Math is always the same, no creativity involved. However, when you get a question that asks, "What do you think would be the best name for this passage?" thats going to far. "lets grade these kids on their opinion" The only reason I get these correct is that I can tell what the administration would want me to pick. If I always picked the title I like best, I'd never get any right.
So, I've given you two good reasons to boycott, 1. Waste of time to learn how to take it and 2. Bias.
Thank you. Nancy R. Spector
