Tell me a story of rats.

I was at Commander Monday and one of the guys I was playing with had a deck that was just a bunch of copies of Relentless Rats:

commanded by this guy:

For a few games I thought "this isn't that scary, it's just a bunch of rats" but then he got this on the board:

He then had 15 17/17 rats on the field and the game was over.

That's why you pack at least 3 sweepers in the deck.

I'm appreciative that he created this place but more and more it became apparent how much of what actually made me want to be here existed despite him rather than because of him.

Actually it is cool and telling how one of his best friends in the world eulogized him and all he could say about him was "I saw him get pissed on once in the Kauffman Stadium parking lot."

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
Today for Eng. 1, we finish testing based on curriculum they don’t get taught (ELA8, because they are in Eighth grade) to create data to check on how they are doing before we start testing on the curriculum they are taught (Eng.1) to create data to see how they are doing and we need to get that done before their benchmark testing next week which creates data to see how they are doing and all of this on top of any summative or formative assessments I may do for a given class which actually me how they are doing for what I specifically teach, which is based on all the standards all the other stuff is based on. I see them every other day, so this is about two weeks of class.

pretty cool imo pretty normal and good

What's the point of benchmark testing when they've just finished testing to see what the student's base is?

Money for the administration, right but man they must realize that this is dumb.

Education is a billion-dollar industry that preys on minority-heavy school districts who rely on federal funding to exist because local school funding primarily comes from property values (which are low because of minorities and racism), and that federal funding relies on standardized test results.

So the industry takes advantage of the fear of not being federally funded by selling tests and programs which promote better test results by doing more pre-testing, which sounds like it might help (prepare for a test? Okay, sure) but which research has shown absolutely does not work because there are only so many class periods and hours in a day and because frequent testing demoralizes everyone up and down the chain.

Standardized testing is just a way to create a set of data that high level people can point at to pretend they aren’t racist.
