I remember my school pushing real hard for passing the BSAP (Basic Skills Assessment Program) back in the day. Never heard of Regent’s until now.
we have a leap test for 4th and 8th grade and then to get out of high school you have to take the gee.
Testing - Louisiana Department of Education
We have the WASL pronounced (WAAAA SOUL) 
Our was 4th, 7th, and 10th.
When I was in school you didn’t have to pass it to graduate, but a few years back the changed the rule and from what my little cousins told me kids were failing the science part left and right. Lucky for them they had 2 more years to retake it.
Oh.
We didn’t have that.
Feels uncertain as whether to feel privileged, old, or both.
As I see it.
Remember those kids who failed back in elementary school? I always felt bad for them…but really, how does one manage to fail in grade school? Even if you’re a lazy kid, you could still do enough to make sure you at least “get by”…which is what most people go on to do in their adult lives as well. I’d imagine that would be quite embarrassing. When you come back to the same grade the following year… sitting in the same class with some new chumps that are all younger than you. Not a good look, yo.
I miss how easy school was…sheeeit, I was coasting through it like a cosmic Sentinel that had X-factor 3 on all the time. This is why it still fascinates me to see folks from my generation or later who dropped out.
Actress—> Michelle Williams. <—would you hit it? I’d say “sure, why not?” to that one. She’s basically just an “average level of cuteness”…middleground, but still alright. She’s not M5? caliber…she’s no Charlize, but she’s not a horror show either…reasonable and good enough.
*I still randomly laugh about that scene from Candyman, where Virginia Madsen(*legendary hotness) saw the writing on the wall in that public bathroom… writing that was done in SHIT. So many years since that movie came out…and it’s still funny to me… if they actually showed the person use a turd as a writing utensil, that would’ve been it for me. I would’ve died from laughter right there in the theater.
*Doesn’t Ryan Seacrest look like Howard the Duck? I can’t be the only one seeing the resemblance.
I got owned by P. Gorath in Mahvel. Smart play man, your keep away game is retarded and your use of Phoenix is some of the smartest I’ve seen yet. I couldn’t even get in to even attempt a goddamn Snapback with that damn MODOK keeping me out for days, goddamn!
Gah damn. I am going to have to play him tonight too.
So when I see P.Gorath, does he look exactly like Goliath in real life?
Have fun. Or, “Holy Prep-time H, Batman!”, as it were.
Don’t be like Stuckey, and go IRL gootecks over online play.
I still think it is the gayest shit in the world to have crossovers happen if you hold a fucking attack button for half a nanosecond.
As I see it.
I failed 2nd grade, this is how the 1st day of 3rd grade went down.
Went to school with all my homies from 2nd, end of day teacher puts all my supplies in a trash bag, they sent my happy ass back to 2nd grade, why the hell even put me into class in the 1st place? hahaaaa sike nigga!!!:sad:
Damn.
Just… damn.
How does somebody recover from something like that?
That’d be like getting OVC’d by Roll in MvC2 or something.
I can’t imagine that shit was even your fault.
…was your 2nd grade teacher an appreciative, lonely BBW or something?
As I see it.
I get to play him offline 
And you just don’t know. Shoutouts to Mike Watts
skinny psychotic black bitch who threw a desk in class once and in a very calm voice after said…“I lift weights.”.
it’s the parents decision, and in most cases a lot of kids should have been held back a couple of times. But you… you already knew that.
My first cousin was held back because of his trouble with reading in the 1st grade. His mom made him do the 1st grade over even after the fact the teacher even said it wasn’t really THAT big of a deal. later in High School, he got held back twice his senior year(s). First because of English and second because of a Weight Lifting final exam. Ironically, he’s/was a jock…
If I was born and raised anywhere besides Nebraska, I could have graduated when I was 16 but in Nebraska if your child is born after September 22nd, something like that, they have to be held back a year before starting pre-school. It sucked because a lot of girls who liked me in HS but were upper classmen all thought they were like a entire year older than me but later, after finally asking me, find out their like only 3-4 months older than me.
Final note: I totally stole a girl away from cousin that I talked about earlier because he told her (we actually knew each other prior to this because we were in a after school tutoring program that gave us scholarships at the end of HS) my birth date. A very cute girl but she was so clingy and needy plus she moved out of state to become a doctor so… She was “too good for me”.
Eww. That’s nasty.
I remember in 4th grade this new kid came and he got escorted out during Recess. Walked by 3rd grade and saw him in there crying…
@Sonicbid
Late as fuck, but dont hate on Felicia son. She ill get in your ass yo
Is it really up to the parents? I just thought if the kid continually had terrible grades, then they failed…that’s the natural assumption, at least. Also, if he or she was allowed to pass despite failing grades (simply because the parent said so?)…that’s a horrible thing to teach new generations… they’d grow up thinking you’ll always succeed even if you really failed. Then again, that seems to be the direction our society keeps leaning to for quite awhile. We’re in the new “Bail-out Era” now.
There were 2 of my friends from childhood that failed at some point in elementary school. One of the guys still can only read at around a 3rd or 4th grade level…yet somehow he was able to eventually finish high school. In my opinion, that’s also a poor reflection of the public school system…that fact that even that guy was able to at least graduate from high school. Reading wasn’t his only problem, btw. Of course, I suppose it’s not politically correct or whatever to acknowledge that some people really are just stupid (*not just ignorant). It’s the same as anything else in life though…just like not everyone in the world will be a world-class Olympic-caliber athlete…some are great and go on to be champions…some will forever suck at whatever you want to use as an example. Some kids are smart, some are just plain stupid.
Julie Zorilla is still on American Idol…yes yesssss. [media=youtube]dgjaHDq2XB8[/media] DELICIOUS. I’d kill so many things just for one wild night with that. Check her out on tonight’s episode.
This girl Ashton Jones is singing now, and she has a truly incredible ass. Turned to the side it’s looking like the capital letter “P”. That is a proper side profile.
Julie Z is on now…goodness gracious you can almost see up that skirt 
I’m rooting for you, man.
Take hater to the cleaners, lol. (<3, hater)
o_O
It sounds like she needed to be lifting Prozac up to her mouth, and swallowing.
As I see it.
lol no, she was skinny with no muscle definition what soever.
new jersey doesn’t have regents’ exams, i always thought that was a NY only thing. anyway, promotion isn’t up to the parents, every district has their own criteria or whatever and if kids don’t meet it then they don’t get promoted, and then there’s social promotion where kids that keep getting left back just get promoted bcuz at a point it’s ridiculous (and unsafe) to have 14-15 year olds taking classes with 10 year olds.
