Can you hear that? It's the sound of a stripper's pole, alone and forlorn, waiting for this girl to turn 18.

smart enough to finish early, and snotty enough to mock other kids that couldn't.

She's going to be the smartest gal in prison.

Generation_D: smart enough to finish early, and snotty enough to mock other kids that couldn't.

Try again. Sent to complete her test properly in another room, after trying to distract other kids, look at their papers, and intentionally falling out of her chair to get attention.

I foresee great things for her. Perhaps, one day, a double-wide.

How terrible a teacher must you be, to have to call the police to handle a bratty 13-year-old girl?

Wrong line of work there, buddy.

The HTML title is short and to the point:

Girl, 13, cited for disrupting FCAT | girl, beach, walton
 
2009-03-18 12:39:34 AM
A 13-year-old Okaloosa Academy student was cited for disrupting a school function after she finished her FCAT in two minutes and began to smack her gum and made sucking noises.

She's destined for Duke.

It doesn't say she aced the exam, it just says she considered herself finished.

Hell, I could finish the BAR exam in 2 minutes if I don't answer any of the questions correctly.

The article reads like the hard-hitting investigative pieces I used to see in my middle school newspaper.

The teacher spent all goddamn year teaching to the goddamn test, that girl DAMN WELL BETTER BE LOCKED UP, DOESN'T SHE UNDERSTAND WHAT AT'S STAKE?

/had to take the state test every year
//even though it was only required every 4
///justification for not shutting down the program I was in, which they did anyway about 6 years ago
////most boring day of the damn year

She could end up beating the charge by using the classic defense of:

NEENER NEENER, I'm 13 and NOT going to pay! Of course, this being Floriduh she will probably be tried as an adult.

Looking at the latest crop of teenage snowflakes I hope that attention whoring is slipped into the federal job desc. database, soon or there's gonna be a whole bunch of gum cracking, tattooed, half naked dipwads in line for the welfare office.

Why call the cops? Just thank her for her time, accept the test as is, and let her live with the results. The validity and importance of that test grade on her psyche and economic future will be played out no matter which way you feel about said importance.

Good, get her criminal record started early by calling the cops. Way to go there, Florida "educational" system.

It may seem as a failure on the part of the teacher, that the cops were called to handle that situation, but look at it this way:
Teacher - stern talking to
Cops - mace and tazers

Who YOU gonna call?

I was thinking that too at first, but then I realized these kids have more farking rights/power than the teachers do now. It's probably just easier to call the cops then have to deal with all the BS teachers have to go through in order to punish a "snowflake".

As a parent and the offspring of a long line of edjumicators, I fully support teachers rights and certain immunities. I also support spanking in the schools. Somebody's got to teach these kids who's in charge.

If we didn't keep passing students up to the next grade level automatically this sort of thing would be a LOT less common.

If that girl knew she faced being held back, I bet the social pressures alone would motivate her to learn the bare minimum.

Sitting in your chair for (most of) the school year should not entitle you to move up a class grade. And doing so for 12 years should not entitle you to a diploma.
 
2009-03-18 02:57:17 AM
You guys are right. The teacher should have forcibly removed....oh, they can't touch students. Well, he could have called her a stupid little biatch....no, they can sue for hurting her feelings. So what do you geniuses expect for the teacher to do? If he even attempts to lay a hand on her she'll scream rape and his career will be over. Good on him for calling the cops. I hope that silly little twat gets an ass beating from her parents. Although judging from her actions, sounds like they might be part of the problem.

How long does it take to cover both sides of a sheet of A4 with "I am a fish" over and over again, anyway?

Found this gem in the comments below the article....

this school should have better punishment if they end up at the academy then that means they did something to get kicked out of public school..and theres no way to finish your fcat in 2 minutes unless you christmas tree it but if you did that you must wanna fail...but your not suppost to have gum in school anyways soo the teacher should have made her spit it out or should have called an administrater to get her out of the testing room....i have a bunch of friends who go to the academy to and they have never been aloud to have gum

Possibly an alum of this fine institution of learning?

Assuming she has parents. Most likely, it's just the one or her grandparents. And that's assuming any of the former give a shiat.

13-year-old Okaloosa Academy student was cited for disrupting a school function after she finished her FCAT in two minutes and began....mumble, mumble, mumble..

She was taken to another classroom and finally finished her test in the office.


So did she finish the test in two minutes or not?

Try again yourself. What you described happened the next day. The jury is still out as to whether she was smart enough to finish the exam in two minutes on the first day because she's smart or because she Christmas-treed it.

The test probably had no impact on her personally and was just being used to gauge school performance. So many kids don't care about tests that actually count toward their grade that I'm surprised that the test scores are as high as they are.

Kentucky is on the verge of getting rid of the CATS test. I wonder if the testing company ran out of money to grease the palms of the politicians?
 
2009-03-18 03:21:31 AM
I always finish the test in 10 minutes, of course I FINISHED the test, first one finished and I (still) always get the best grade in class, my teachers always just let me go home

You didn't get that really? Not that it was that good.

"girl, beach, walton, ______?"

Girl is to beach, as Walton, is to mountain?

Get it? Get it?

Girls live on the beach, and the Waltons live on a Mountain.

Oh hell, I had too many beers celebrating St Patrick's driving the penguins out of Egypt.
