It's school time again, and here in Texas, the state public education system cannot seem to adopt a statewide test that they use for more than 5 years. School districts statewide have used the following tests: TABS, TEAMS, TAAS, and now TAKS.



Therefore, the San Antonio school districts have adopted a series of tests that better fit the public education in their city. The new instrument will be the TEXAS ASSESSMENT OF COGNITIVE OPERATIONS (TACO).



It will have a remedial version (Soft TACO), a regular version

(Hard TACO), and an advanced version with many more pages (the Gordita).



It will be graded on the standard bell curve (the TACO Bell). Districts receiving the lowest scores will be put on probation with a Basic Educational Appraisal-Not Satisfactory (BEANS).



A second low rating earns the dreaded Supplement Remediation Factor for Individualized Education Deficits (REFRIED BEANS).



Schools that still don't hit the mark will be required to spend an entire semester on the Wholesale Evaluation Network Classification of Historical Interactive Library Arts Development Assessment (WHOLE-ENCHILADA).
