Sorry, You Still Have To Take The Test

The kids and I have been doing some review work in preparation for the yearly standardized testing -- it's one of the options to fulfill the homeschooling requirements for Virginia.

I don't want to scare the boys about testing, so we've just explained that it's a way for the state to verify that I'm actually teaching them something.  Last year, I didn't even mention to Calvin that he was taking a test -- he just thought it was a neat new workbook until about halfway through the test.

So, Hobbes has a question for me:

If this test is just a way for the state to make sure you're teaching me, why don't you just take the test?

Nice try.  I took the test 25 years ago.  I'm pretty sure I can multiply properly, and I usually remember to capitalize proper nouns.
