Incumbent loses election

Posted by Mr. Byrne

In a landslide victory (26-8), local new comer “Unit Test” has won out over the previous incumbent “Quarter testing” and its running mate “Mid-Quarter Testing”. A local voter was heard saying “We have always had Mid-Quarter testing, we should have a Mid-Quarter test this time, there should always be Mid-Quarter testing”. However the sentiment among the vast majority of the constituents of Room 215 felt that a change was in order. As one voter put it “the old test was bloated, full of too much stuff, its time for a change, to do more with less”.

The new “Unit Test” will take office on Monday the 21st and as part of the change of command ceremony will include the out going 2 learning targets that were missed on the last test.
