All this week my students have been taking the IOWA test. I've listened to some of the comments they've been making during the short breaks in between different sections and I wrote a tanka about it.

Standardized testing
is standardized boredom and
standardized bogus.
It's only good for one thing:
getting me out of math class.

I hated TAKS testing days when I was a teacher! As proctors we weren't allowed to do anything but stare at the kids. Tt was as insulting for the adults as it was to the kids. Ugh.
I wonder if it really measures their intelligence or just how well they know how to take tests.
