Last weekend I had the privilege of supervising the ACT test for a group of aspiring college students. The ACT has a group of students called talent search candidates. These are basically talented middle school students. They are exempt from the photo ID requirement of the ACT but they do need to bring in an official talent search letter.
This time, for some odd reason, only about 25% had this letter. Thankfully, they all had photo ID's or it would have gone badly. A lot of them did have a bunch of useless paperwork from their schools. It makes one wonder. I've been told repeatedly that I don't belong here and that the teachers from the local high school can and should take over the classes at the local community college. The argument being that the pass rates would be much higher. Admittedly, not that many people are saying that, but it doesn't take many when you see the local high school playing nasty games in order to keep the students counted as theirs so that they don't risk their monies.
It all leads one to question whether this paperwork mix up was just that, or whether there was more behind it. It probably was a completely innocent mix up, but... Since the school board does have a corruption lawsuit going right now

and I've seen them do worse in their quest for educational hegemony in the county, it makes one wonder. That's the worst part about this place. It makes one hopelessly paranoid.
