Educational Acronyms

In response to President Bush’s Federal “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB), it is proposed that students will have to pass a test to be promoted to the next grade level. The new test will be called the Federal Arithmetic and Reading Test (FART).

All students who cannot pass a FART in the second grade will be retested in grades 3, 4, and 5 until they are capable of passing a FART with a score of 80%. If a student does not successfully FART by grade 5, that student shall be placed in a separate English program known as the Special Mastery Elective for Learning Language (SMELL).

If, with this increased SMELL program, the students cannot pass the required FART test, he or she can still graduate to middle school by taking another one semester course in Comprehensive Reading and Arithmetic Preparation (CRAP).

If, by the age of fourteen, the student cannot FART, SMELL or CRAP, he or she can earn promotion in an intensive one week seminar known as the Preparatory Reading for Unprepared Nationally Exempted Students (PRUNES)

It is the opinion of the Department of Instruction for Public Schools (DIPS) that an intensive week of PRUNES will enable any student to FART, SMELL or CRAP.

This revised provision of the student component of the House Bill 101 should help “clear the air” as part of the “No School Left Standing” Act.

I laughed until I realized that something like this could actually happen. Then I laughed even harder. Thanks for sharing this!
