Test Day in Boston

A testing moment

Today's the day when sixth graders across Boston take the ISEE, which will help determine whether they get an invitation to one of the city's three exam schools (it counts for 50% of the decision, with the rest based on their last fifth-grade marks and their first sixth-grade marks). Here, kids - and their parents - wait in line at the West Roxbury Education Complex for check in. They had to show both an acceptance letter for the test and a passport or birth certificate - nobody was going to pull a Curley today.

ahhh...I remember this test....

Good call, Gaffin.

What a bullshit expression. In the words of Michael Savage: "I'm allowed to hate you." If a person is attempting to commit fraud to deny somebody else a quality education, you're Goddamn right I hate you.

I don't remember having to

I don't remember having to show my passport, birth certificate, or a principal's letter when I took the tests.
