YAY YAY, IT'S THE MSA!!!!!!

you know what time it is, it's time for your friendly neighborhood MSA pep rally!!!!!!!! for those of you that are lucky,I mean unfortunate, enough to not know what this is let me horrify, I mean explain it to, you. This a brand new tradition in the Montgomery County Public schools where people, dance, cheer, and pretend that they are exited about taking a test that emphasizes rote memorization over actual thinking. some schools have had students make signs, prepare presentations, and have adults come on stage in various forms of dress-up. I have some questions for the people who are advocating these pep rallies-

• Why are you going to spend the money for the afore-mentioned costumes, props, and supplies when the money is needed to by things like balls for recess and art supplies. woopsies, I forgot that you don't do art or recess anymore because children should spend all day memorizing pointless facts. Time=higher test scores=funding=even better test scores=promotions.
• instead of taking the time to have the pep rally, make the signs, and prepare the presentations why don't you let the kids do something creative that actually challenges them. Sorry, I forgot again, you don't do creativity. if anything is going to stay the least bit from he test it must be MSA related because yet again time=higher test scores=funding= even better test scores=promotions.
