Inequitable Testing

Location

‘Buzz Buzz’Off goes the timer.It’s forever been a heart-dropping reminder.“I can’t do this, I’m awful at tests”Even so, I always give my best.But reading 6 pages in 5 minutes isn’t my specialty,I tend to approach these things so dreadfully.How fair is it, tests being timed,When I can barely evaluate what’s in my mind.My friend has that thing, dyslexia they call it,How can she pass these things, they expect her to do every bit. If I can barely pass, how can she?No one even listens to our begging pleas.Extension on time, a little fairness?No, of course not, that’d raise questions from the parents.What is this crap, a learning deprivation?Oh yeah, they call this education.
