Guess what race has about sixty thousand of them suing the state because thier kid didn't graduate on time due to failing the test?
i do believe most the problems with our kids is the parents fault!

The question this one year was, "What is your favorite season and why?" I had one student to write that his favorite season was dear hunting season. 100% truth, not made up! Did I teach him to think like this . . .NO, so where did he get this mentality, it had to be taught at home.

It is a very creative answer, however I just don't think this was an answer that they had in mind when creating this question.

well there you go, thinking! stop it.
they probably no particular answer in mind. the test is more than likely to test their ability to write, form sentences, paragraphs, etc than it is to get a specific answer. even if it was about the four seasons which one are they looking for? since you're thinking for them tell us which one you think they're looking for and why. what happens to the kids who dont pick that partiuclar season, do they fail?
my favorite season? football season, drag racing season. but i also like fall and spring as well as winter. there are many seasons and it doesnt clarify which ones....does it? open ended questions get greatly varied answers.
maybe they should ask more specific questions. or you should stop assuming they mean this that or the other thing when they may not mean anything at all!
