my poor son

wow, i have the computer all to myself for once. i miss the chance to express my self and get certain things off my chest. right now life is alright, that's about all i can say. i have a house of flu ridden loved ones to take care of. my poor son had a very important test to take all this week, poor little guy is sick and could not be expected to concentrate on a state test the will determine whether he passes to the next grade when he has temp of 103. and stuffed up. i think the test is stupid its called the fcat... children from 3rd grade on have to take this test and if they don't do well enough they will be held back even if they are straight A students!!! Does our state realize some people panic when they are forced to take a test with the school saying "you have to pass or else". my son will have to make it up but he is stressed about the whole ordeal and he is 9. parents as a whole need to come together and have this test abolished...or consider the students grade point average with the test results. yeah, the no student left behind bill is their reason for this test well if they don't do well they get left behind!! i think its a money thing. if the school has a high failing rate no money for them.... the world is all about the all mighty dollar. not fair for the children.
