The students have absolutely no freedom. Its rediculous. They go to lunch with a teacher, they are not allowed to bring they're cellphones even if they never use them during class. The students get treated like little elementary kids, and the administators try to blame the reason for strict rules on the few students that don't know how to act. They don't even think about the many students who do know how to act.They never have any school dances or really fun activites. I feel that the students will never become true adults if they keep on treating them like kids. But i guess they just like to make their job easier, by holding everybody back. But little do they know they only make things worse

About the tests

In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing, algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course. Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school. The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
