CAPT Comes to RHAM

Well, it's March again. This month marks a time of diligence and annoyance for underclassmen. But for upperclassmen, March proves to be the ultimate short term remedy for spring time laziness, a.k.a. senior-itis.

This month, for three days a week each week, students' traditional school days will be ending at 12:40. At which time, underclassmen will file into their assigned classrooms for the next hour and a half of CAPT testing.

However, while ninth and tenth graders slave away over seemingly endless pages of "paper bubble wrap", eleventh and twelfth graders get to, well, pretty much do whatever they want. If an upperclassman is lucky enough to have a car (or lucky enough to have friends that have cars) then they are free to leave school early on these assigned days, thus allowing more time for their "studies".

Surely, CAPT testing is one of the few perks upperclassmen actually get to experience here at RHAM High. Personally, I am looking forward to a whole lot of Wendy's for lunch. Sorry underclassmen.

[CAPT testing is the Connecticut state standardized testing of sophomores. -Ed.]
