Okay, so I brought up the Dullest Moaning Snooze website for some reason or other, and this is what I’m graced with:
Now, doesn’t she look cute there, folks?  “Look at me – pity me ‘cuz I’m too stupid to pass a simple little test.  D’ya like my day-glo red hair?  Am I phat?”
Then I go and read the story – and damned near get an RCOB moment over the whining perpetrated by these sorry-assed punks.
Kendra Rainey won’t be wearing that graduation gown hanging in her closet. And the announcements mailed to friends and family are now a painful reminder.
Last week, Kendra was ushered into a counselor’s office at Bryan Adams High School in Dallas to get the bad news: She failed to pass the TAKS in her final attempt and will not graduate with her class Sunday.
“It makes me feel like all I’ve done is a waste of time,” said Kendra, 18, who didn’t pass the math and science portions of the test. “I can’t be there with my class.”
I don’t suppose it ever occurred to you, Miss  Rainey, that the whole point of your last twelve years in the public school system is not  to just “be there with [your] class” – but to get yourself a fuckin’ education so you can make a way for yourself on this planet?  And if you can’t pass a sorry-assed TAKS test, it becomes pretty damned clear that you haven’t gotten that education – have  you???
But she is not without peers. Hundreds of area seniors – including up to 697 students in DISD, or about 10 percent of the senior class – will not receive their diplomas after failing to pass the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.
This is the first school year that seniors who did not pass all portions of the TAKS cannot graduate. They began taking the exit-level test in the 11th grade and had up to five chances to pass.
Y’see that, Denizens?  Up to five.  Friggin’.  Chances.
The news has hit students – and parents – hard.
Patricia Rainey said her daughter has cried more times than she can count. She now has to postpone attending Texas Southern University in Houston, where she was accepted.
“She’s been crying every day, I feel so sorry for her. She has me crying,” she said. “This is holding her back.”
Ohhhhhhhhhh no you don’t, sista.  You’re not pulling that  bullshit.  Not here.
It’s not a “this” that’s holding your daughter back, trollop.  It’s your own daughter and her unwillingness to do the necessary work to graduate  that’s holding her back.
Don’t give me that “this” bullshit.  If your daughter had cracked a few more books and listened to a few less 50-Cent/G-Unit/Eminem tracks, she might  be graduating next month.  Put the “this” bullshit right back up your ass where it belongs!
Of districts reporting results, Dallas had the largest percentage of seniors failing the TAKS.
The Texas Education Agency will soon release statewide numbers, but 11 percent, or 24,937, of Texas seniors still needed to pass a portion of the test in April – before the last retake.
At that time, 95 percent of students had passed math and English language arts, 94 percent had passed science, and 99 percent had passed social studies.
Students said the test – particularly math and science – was challenging.
Hell yes,  it’s challenging.  What, did you rugrats think we’re trying to turn you into Demoscum or something?
Ashlee Williams, a student at Skyline High School, was visibly upset when she spoke about the math test.
“It was my fourth time taking it,” she said. “What’s the point?”
The point,  idiot, is to pass.  To demonstrate that you’re worthy of that diploma they hand you as you walk across.  What, you think you get a free one when you buy Puff Daddy tix?
DeEtta Culbertson, a TEA spokeswoman, said excluding seniors who failed a state exam is not an unusual practice.
“They believe that the kids who are participating are the ones that earned it,” she said.
But for students and parents, the exclusion is difficult to handle.
“That’s like taking their spirit,” said Terry Tucker, whose daughter did not pass the science portion. “They’ve worked for four years for that moment.”
Oh, boo-hoo-fucking-hoo, bimbo.  Please spare me the self-esteem bullshit, okay?  From the looks of things, your little “Look Ma, I look like a Cherry Coke Slurpee!!!” girl was getting her  “spirit” from watching too much American Idol.
Ms. Tucker said her daughter, Tamara Roberts, cried for two days and even vomited when she got the news that she couldn’t graduate. She said her daughter now has to postpone attending El Centro College.
Great.  Honkin’.  Cthulu.  Does this moronette think it’s gonna get any better for her daughter in college??????
Lemmee tell you something, Tucker, you dumbass-ette.  The professors, even at a junior college like El Centro, are gonna give your daughter her assignments – and then leave her the fuck alone.  They’re not gonna mollycoddle her and try to help her along like they did at her “hah skrewl” (a little more Rush lingo, there), and stay on her ass to get all her stuff done.
They’re going to give her a due date for all the assignments they give her, and then they’ll just sit back and expect that she’s mature enough to work on the material – rather than on her candy-apple hairdo – and turn them in on time.  And they’re not gonna be sympathetic when she tries to give them a half-assed excuse why her assignments are late, do you understand???
No.  Of course not.  The fact that you try to blame a test for your daughter’s troubles, instead of your daughter herself, proves that you’re not sufficiently intelligent to get it.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that you and the rest of the damnfools whose carpet-munchers flunked – yes, I said flunked;  deal with it – find yourselves in your current dilemma.
F.E.T.E., as the Imperial Torturer™ would say.

“Patricia Rainey said her daughter has cried more times than she can count.”
So she can’t do math either?
Spats, it’s been a while since I was in God’s Country (The Sovereign State of Texas), but I have to assume that the test is not THAT much harder than Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOL) required to Graduate.
My niece (14 yo, finishing 8th grade) took a practice version for the High School Grad test. Scored 92%. Now, this is a fairly sharp young lady, but … damn!
[moonbat] It’s all RACISM, I tell ya! [/moonbat]
Will someone please refresh my memory and tell me what “PHAT” stands for? Thanks.
Well, in my case, phat stands for way too many phrankphurters and phreedom phries; not to mention a phew too many beers. 🙂
Mrs. H, PHAT stands for Pretty Hot And Tempting.
Supposed to be the “in” thing to say about someone. (rolls eyes)
“Phat” is an acronym? Heh.
It could mean “People Hoo Ain’t Thinkin'”
Every time I see articles like this heap of dreck, it makes me feel all the more secure in my decision to send my son to my friend’s charter school!

Thanks for the answer, your Lordship.
And I was thinking the “A” had to stand for ass, and the “T” stood for titties.
(blush)
Needless to say, I wouldn’t take it as a compliment.
🙁

Hey Um Yeah!
No need to get upset. I’m sure that Lord Spatula will be happy to use you as a prime example of a white trash, sniveling highshool failure and dropout.
All you had to do is ask…..

Er, that’s supposed to be “high school”.
PIMF.
You don’t suppose Um Yeah’s stupidity is contagious?
Cuts like a knife, but it feels so right.
