      Standard scantron sheets have 5 options, A-E, to bubble in.

It wasn't uncommon to take a standardized test that had fewer than three options, or even more than five; you'd be told to fill in A+B, A+E, etc for options higher than six.

I could write all the reasons why, but I won't bore the reader. I was angry; how dare they! 15 years later I realized they may have been telling at least all the girls to be teachers because all my school days there were never enough teachers; they were so desperate to hire anyone, even unqualified widowers off the street to stick in the classrooms of 32 to 36 students each.

      Notice how Simpsons started sucking around Season 9, 1998-2000 ish? Blame politics. Namely Liberal Political Propaganda. They made tv/movies/music garbo. It was hard enough for Hollywood to make good plots, but throw in focus groups, political think tank guidelines, and gay agenda propaganda, and the only things I liked since 2000 are: Cobra Kai, Black Eyed Peas and Rise Against.

      @@GoodNewsJim Yep, blame literally everything on "duh librals", that's how you get things done. I'm sure the decay of the simpsons had nothing to do with the original crew slowly leaving the show, nah, everything (that is absolutely every bad part of life) is because of DEM DAMN LUBRULS.
      I say this because i'm a FREE THINKER who doesn't fall for dem stupid propagandas and gets how the world works.
      Try to leave your bubble for just a minute dude. You genuinely unironically used the sequence of words "gay agenda propaganda". You're not nearly as much of an individual thinker as you believe you are.

    I took one of these in middle school. I said I wanted to be a teacher. I answered every question to align with being a teacher. It told me, along with every person in my class, that we should work in the medical field (predicted medical shortages were big news at the time).
    When I told my mother, she told me she'd taken the same test in the 80's and they'd all been told to become computer programmers.
    I actually kind of like the process of filling put standardized tests, but that experience cemented for me rhat they are absolute BS.

    Had a job scanning exam papers. 1:50 isn't too far off from the little tricks we developed to keep the machines running. Machines are a lot faster though, about 100-120 pages/min for one of the slower machines and 140-160 pages/min for a faster one. Get a good machine and you can really push it, got one of the ones I worked on to 174 pages/min for a bit and I swear I saw one hit 192 though that wasn't stable at all.
    Of course working at those speeds means that if something goes wrong it goes wrong fast, can't even remember how many times a page or two or three from somebodies exam was caught up in the rollers and 8'd. Don't worry too much as long as the mass hired temp on minimum wage is competent they can usually extract them without damaging the paper too much, really the bigger problem is if a stack of freshly cut exams gets knocked over and scattered, if your pages aren't ID'd individually then it becomes a case of trying to match the handwriting of loose pages with the other couple of dozen exam papers from the pile and if they aren't numbered then putting them in whatever order seems to makes the most sense. The good news is we typically didn't loose papers during my shifts we only found loose pages that had fallen under a machine once and they were ID'd so we were able to match them with the right paper and rescan.

    At this rate, too many kids are being hammered with STEM, we need to change it to STEAM (add arts to that). If everyone worked a STEM job, what would we do for fun, entertainment, and more. The arts and humanities are so incredibly important for our culture.

In chemistry and biology class we actually finished the whole course by like mid March.
