So if you are dyslexic and/or dyscalculic, if you are simply not good at reading or math, or if you are a bad test taker and your unique skills/knowledge/understanding aren't being reflected by some bullshit test: that means you have less value as a human being and/or value to society than someone who is good at performing in those standardized tests?

You did say "upgrade", so you seem to be valuing the good test takers over those who don't take tests well. Just making sure I understand!

If that's your interpretation of what i said, then it's safe to say that standardized tests aren't the only things you're shit at.

You were pretty clear, I was anticipating this response. Thanks for confirming your bad faith.

Somebody in good faith would be clarifying their intent.

Also, I never mentioned how I did - you assumed.

LOL sure buddy. Because you were obviously being fair minded and acting in good faith when you made up something I didn't say and pretended that was what i said.

Not passing the OWLs this year, are ya?

I'm just going to add that I like cheddar more than you.
