1. So, No Child Left Behind Walks into a Bar

    Yes, hello. I’d like to apply for a job. Do you have any openings?

    I was thinking something like “form filler.” 

    No, not “data entry” per se. I’m thinking more along the lines of… well, I’m not sure. Can I start with my skills and abilities?

    Great, thank you. I’m really good at math, science, social studies, and language arts.

    Be more specific? OK, so I’m really good at reading a predetermined question and then choosing from four predetermined choices in each of the areas I just mentioned to you. Also, every once in a while, I can read a prompt and write a two-page response. 

    What do you mean “what if the questions are a mix of subjects?” 

    Sir, I assure you that I am quite skilled… No, sir, I have extensive training in these areas! In fact, I’ve devoted the last decade of my life to perfecting how to do this skill!

    What do you mean it’s “not relevant”?
