Multiple Choice Pop Quiz (or Yes, I'm feeling a little bitter today. Why do you ask?)

This quiz has been carelessly created just for you, so we may determine your understanding of the arbitrary standards that we here at Testing Headquarters have decided are important. Our research shows that the best way to manipulate the system in our financial favor test understanding is to use poorly worded multiple choice questions with complicated and contradictory directions. So, please remember to bubble in the circle that corresponds with the correct answer completely with a #2 green pen purchased within a mile of a McDonald's (Failure to follow all directions fully will result in automatic public embarassment and the feeding of your test to a wild goat.). Your future acceptance here at Rambling with Isha will be greatly affected by the outcome of this test for which you have been ill-prepared, but we here at Testing Headquarters hope that you will forget about that for the moment and do your very best. We don't want the substantial reward of a million dollars for success or the horrifying punishment of lifetime banishment to affect your thinking process in any way. Good luck. :)

Soleil did not forget to attend a meeting about "at-risk" students. She presented the following query: "So what do I DO for those students who don't qualify for help academically? How do I help the ones who are failing because of the particulars of their home lives?" Please circle the the answer that you think is the least wrong.

A. "Well, we are working on getting a system set up that will help us identify these students earlier and gathering some data that will help us provide the assistance that is most beneficial to the greatest number of students."

3. "Kids like that fall through the cracks. There isn't much we can do."

<>. "Here's a list of county and state programs that are in place. If you need help communicating this information to the parents, let me know and we will arrange a meeting time that is convenient for all of us."

@. "The home life of a student is really the parents' responsibility."


**Please note that if you have a problem with the topic, editing, phrasing, or level of this question or its answer choices, you should know that we don't care. We here at Testing Headquarters know that it couldn't possibly be a problem with our test, so it must be you. Are you stupid or what? I'm sure that your local blog test agency would be happy to provide you with assistance, provided that you can prove there is an academic basis for your failure. Lack of success due to emotional, social, or economic issues are your problem. Good luck. :)
