Torture in the form of endless dots accompanied by a Random Rant!

Why!?!?!?! Why must a student's intelligence be measured by a test of how many bubbles they can correctly fill in throughout a certain amount of time? I quite honestly despise standardized tests because forcing a person get up early in the morning, pay to go somehwere they don't want to be, sit for 4 hours whilst filling in bubbles, then writing an essay is as incorrect morally as this sentece (and quite possibly entire post) is gramatically. Teenagers (who are generally the people taking standardized tests) do not function in the morning nor do they function on weekends, so basing their future off of test scores from exams that were taken in the morning on Saturdays is entirely bogus. I mean if a student must be forced to hav their future career based on said test-scores the least people could do to help them out is get them out of school to take the tests that way the tests don't impose on their leisure time which is usually filled with homework anyway. The educational system of this nation needs to CHANGE, so somebody please FIX IT! I love Saturday Night Live this year. I actually only discovered it this year because I was tired of political comercials and the election. Thus ends the rather short rant.
