Teenagers these days fascinate me. In some ways I feel like they already know so much more than I ever did at that age, but then at the same time I sometimes have to wonder if they are really prepared for life outside the four walls of a high school. One of the things I am constantly surprised by is their attitudes towards tests. Now, this certainly doesn’t apply to everyone, but I always find there is a certain group of students in every class that panic a little during tests.

I honestly thought that today would be even worse than yesterday, especially when we woke up to a call from the Hubster’s work at 6:05am.
