No kidding. I think that is everyone here’s secret dream. Or at least mine. I am stuck in Kentucky in a school oriented toward reducing the number of blank state-mandated tests by 5%. 5%!!! What the crap? We just have a weight of 100 or so people who just leave their tests… blank! Yes! So our school is freaking out b/c we aren’t meeting our accountability standards, and money that would be used for more AP teachers, or “advanced” science (all physics is independent study) is being wasted on trying to convince these people to at least attempt the questions.
