I am a high school senior and I really hate standardized testing. I understand the significance of state testing and appreciate the help it can be for students. The standardized testing that I can’t stand is the testing that is practically required and is monopolized by Collegeboard.
I keep getting invited to these groups on Facebook about how to slash gas prices. It's nice that everyone has these idealistic concepts and principles but honestly, they just won't work.
