It's CAHSEE time again (that's the CAlifornia High School Exit Exam in case you were wondering), this time for the juniors.
So, most of the students were there (there were a couple no-shows), and they had their testing materials. The students were receiving their instructions. And they heard the instructions in English and Spanish.
This was an English test. They have to pass this test to graduate. It's the usual sort of standardized test--read passage and answer questions based on passage. There were also the usual grammar questions. And they were required to write one essay. In English.
Which all leads to one question: if they need instructions in Spanish, how could they possibly pass an English test?
The logic escapes me.
