Here’s the thing about Standardized Testing.

I became a teacher, partly, because I didn’t want a job where my goal was to make money. I didn’t want to create profit. I want to create thinkers and voters and citizens.

Standardized Testing is part of a push by conservative government to make public education profitable for private corporations.

My state pays Pearson $90 Million EVERY YEAR just for STAAR testing. That doesn’t include Pearson test prep materials, or any of the other tests they run.Pearson writes G/T tests, AP tests, even teacher certification tests.

The market is basically a monopoly And Standardized Testing is now a multi-billion dollar industry.

And for what? They don’t measure educational quality. They haven’t improved student performance. All they really seem to measure is family income, which is the best predictor for student performance.

I didn’t go into this job to create profit, but those in power found a way to profit off our work anyway.

They’re also the primary tool for modern redlining.

No joke I would pay good money to see a live-action “Kim Possible” featuring Zendaya as Kim Possible, Tom Holland as Ron Stoppable, and Jacob Batalon as Wade.

It will be my mission in life to find all the Chris Evans laugh edits and apprehend the crafty son of a bitch that keeps making them.

Me: wise sage, give me what I need to banish the darkness from my mind Pharmacist: here’s your antidepressants. Me: no curse of mine shall befall you from my dying breath Pharmacist: thank you

I love how this post implies that the pharmacist is just used to you by now

apply for jobs you’re not qualified for! audit upper-level classes! get drunk with your TAs! see that poster advertising that lecture series? go there take notes and ask questions! thank the presenter for talking about this topic you love! if the class is full before you register, email the professor and ask if they can squeeze you in! RAISE YOUR HAND! tell the disability accomodation office to do their goddamn job! ask for help! file complaints! go to class in your pajamas and destroy the reading! you got this! you KNOW you got this! be arrogant enough to learn EVERYTHING! take your meds! punch a velociraptor in the dick! fear is useless and temporary! glory is forever! shed your skin and erupt angel wings! help out! spread your sun!

i had a really good morning! you deserve a really good morning! kill anyone who says you don’t and build a throne from their bones!
