Testing, Testing ... 1, 2

Hoover is testing everybody! The people in 10th and 11th grade just tested. Class of 2009 was tested in English and World History. They read the directions for us, bring us snacks, make us focus even if we don't like it. That's their job and they've been doing it well.

If you haven't heard, we were the lowest tested rank in San Diego County, ALL grades, ALL students, several years ago. We caught up to Lincoln High, it was shut down and reconstructed. We caught to Gompers and that was shut down. We made our way to Crawford and San Diego and they were split into those 4-based schools. Mr. Williams says that if we are to get to Clairemont and Kearney, we need to do our best to succeed on this test. No messing around or bull. We need to focus.

The difference between a high school and a great high school is that the students take the initiative to have control of their future. The harder you work the luckier you'll get, then on to the harder you work the less you have to do. Being lazy especially on this test just makes your life harder. If we rank lower than our given point. Say good-bye to the Hoover we know and love. Besides the fact that there are a good portion of the advanced teachers leaving, do you really want to have our school shut down or put into the 4-based systems?

I'm sorry but I'd have to say that would flipping bite. It's a couple of hours on the last days of the week, just try your best and maybe Hoover will have a chance to show progress. We are the class of 2009 why not show that we are the best, and we can leave a legacy.

Class of 2009, it's our time.
