Day 2 of 3 of testing.

[conuly]

It's fun!

Yesterday our testing was interrupted by some kid outside playing on a recorder for literally hours (because it's Passover, all the public schools are having Spring Break), and you can't tell a kid to not make noise in the middle of the day.

But today was nice and quiet!

Who says you can't tell a kid not to make noise in the middle of the day? That's absurd! So your testing was disturbed for literally hours because the person(s) in charge didn't have the gumption to go out and say "Excuse me; your music is lovely, but we're doing testing in here, and it's very distracting"...?

Sheesh, grownups these days.

It's a residential street, they're literally the only two kids taking tests! I definitely didn't have the gumption to tell kids they can't play outside on a non-school day.
