Spring Break is over! I was bored all week... I am
EXCITED to be back in school. Learning and SEEING MY FRIENDS!!! Except Mondays... I have Quest. But now there is two weeks before TAKS!!! I haven't stressed about it. I mean we had
two benchmarks that were last year's TAKS test. And I got an A on both so I am
NOT worried about this test. To me the TAKS test means that you stay or go, pass or fail. The importance of the TAKS test is that it determines if go off to the next grade level or not. I think that middle school or Texas deems the TAKS test most critical. My confident level is just right not to where I am honking my horn or being stressed over it. If I a ever in charge of the the TAKS test I would make it shorter and only for 5th grade. Because personally I think it is way too long. I mean 50 questions just to see if you understand the concept of it all. For the fifth grade is because most of the fifth grade in Mesquite go to a new school to go to sixth grade. That's what I would do with the "Big Ugly".
