3rd grader's essay about horses.

[coachlaw]

In La. they had the LEAP test. Same idea as the TAKS, but wayyyy easier. I think it's actually these standardized tests that are making everyone stupid. When I was told a while back that all my tests had to be multiple choice, no more essay questions on the tests, I knew something was wrong. Instead of teaching kids to think, everything is multiple choice. My response to this edict was that life isn't multiple choice.

Y'all want a laugh? I'm from La. but here I teach Texas history. I had to read the text book before my first year just so I could learn the material. After 5 years, I kind of know what I'm doing. Before I took my current job, I taugh Civics/Government, U.S. History, World History, Sociology, Psychology, and World Geography. Also taught Economics, but I didn't understand the textbook. That didn't last long.

People here laugh and say it takes a Coonass to teach Texas history. Even though I'm not a real Coonass, I got tired of arguing that here and I just laugh.
