Just Test Scores



Test scores!
The hard heartbeat of students
The illusion of excellence for students
The overemphasised necessity for success of students
Inventions and innovations do not originate from test scores
Great scientists and philosophers were failed by test scores
According to test scores, Albert Einstein was not good enough
But today test scores prepare tests about the life of Albert – history

Multiple choice questions!
Easiest way of projecting test scores
Failing all can be assured by intention
Scoring high can occur by occasion
Test scores itself has failed to measure intelligence
How much more success
Have you ever seen this in real life: what is the next step? A. continue   B. rob a bank   C. just die   D. keep calm and play on
The inventor of multiple choice questions Fredrick J Kelly was just trying to relieve teachers of stress in marking; not having the concerns of any student in mind.

Score 6 out of 10 today
Score 9 out of 10 tomorrow
What’s the difference anyway?
Turn 6 upside down; you got 9
Turn 9 upside down; you got 6
It makes no difference
They are just figures; just test scores
Something out of something

School is great but test scores are trivial
Don’t suicide for test scores
Not having a strong memory to recall
Everything does not mean you’re useless
Wisdom is the application of knowledge
Having the best test scores gives no wisdom; it only creates a bloated head as a reward for possessing retentive memory.
Burst a bloated and empty head
Embrace wisdom and live happier
Forget about test scores

HOW HE ENTERED ME

Image
Gosh, he's huge and he's going to enter me. Though I've dealt with pain most of my life, I still wonder how this will seem to be. Especially when I take a glance at little Phoebe and after he entered her. It's like his very touch made her whole life sad. Who was that who entered her? But on the other side, look at Valerie too and how she carries herself about. Was all that not after they said he came into her life? Now she's as joyous than she could ever be. All  because of him I presume. Who is he? Well, there's a man who said he'll never leave "me" nor forsake "me". Through the darkest points and behind closed doors he'll be "my" key. I remember the Sunday school madam said that's what God said. But he said he could be him in my life if only I may.   My life's not being perfect, far from what I thought it will be The wrongs I've done and things I've touched. The lies I told, infact on s...

HATRED LOVE

Image
Princess:  All my life, I waited to feel the way you made my emotions flutter in butterfly and honey ways; before you switched from best friend to worst enemy.    The arguments, the insulting shots, distance ... the failed promises to be mentioned with your big lie of making me a missus. Maybe you deserve better But that better is in no way, me. I only realised that the assurance of counting on you was but a fleeting fantasy And now I know... Now I know that dancing with you was the end to my majestic movements Never careful with your words when you spat them in my face, slowing my pace and throwing me into a maze of love and so much hate just to make me dazed. So shocking that you fail to remember how I was your valentine Oh Valentine! I hope you've lost the guts to ever utter the word because it'll be only when you dare, shamefully to broach the word, that gladly make your downfall my dine with the sourest and acidic lime ! Danielthepoet: So is this what you are saying?...

IS THIS LOVE?

Image
Is this love? Is there a definition for love, or we are trying to create a definition for love? Are the differences in love, or we are trying to create differences in love? Did types of love exist or we have  created those types? Is this love? There is a kind of love we show to our Creator, another kind we show to our friends,another kind to our love partners and another one to our  neighbours. Is this love? Is this how love is supposed to be? Are we now trying to practice fish love? This fish love came about when I heard a story from one old man which was titled "Fish love". And this is what he said: "One day a man was eating fish in a restaurant and I walked up to him and asked; 'Please,why are u eating that fish' and he said, because I love the fish." So he loved the fish, that is why he took it out of the water, boiled it, fried it and now eating it. This is fish love. Do we pretend to show love, while we stab in the back. If ...
