standarized test are so abused. schools teach nothing but the state test now. the colorado version (CSAP) really stress out the kids.

That looks to be about as ridiculously easy as the CAHSEE, after seeing the released tests...
And I must say, HOLY ****** our future is screwed.

Walking is a good start. From looking at that pic, it looks like they could use the cardio.

Hah, well I think they meant that 613 students in the Fort Worth area failed, not necessarily that specific high school.

Even still...

The article doesn't say they were from the same high school. They were all from Fort Worth.

Anyways, if you fail the TAKS test, you are a dumbass.
