Decoy:
Clarence's scores have gone up three year's running. How about that?

Chewing Wax:
Ain't that impressive? They have super genius black kids out there too.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:30:11 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I suppose

Decoy:
How can kids in East Aurora average a 78 on a test and the kids in School 53 get a 2? Two!
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:30:44 pm)
Chewing Wax:
City Honors did okay.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:30:52 pm)
Decoy:
Is that the one with the barbed wire and high wall?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:34:04 pm)
bela:
School 56 didn't do as bad as some. I don't know, what am I looking at on that fuzzy chart?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:34:58 pm)
bela:
Ha ha ha. Look at school 4. THats funny.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:36:02 pm)
bela:
Whats the deal with Alternative?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:36:26 pm)
Decoy:
The racism index.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:36:27 pm)
Chewing Wax:
No. That high wall and the barbed wire is an old school for "troubled boys" I think is the creative way they put it. It's for sale. I want to buy it. How cool would that be? To own a walled city block.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:36:28 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Poor school 4. You've got to teach the little monkeys to read for christs sake. How can they take a test if that can't read?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:37:08 pm)
bela:
Huh?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:37:22 pm)
Chewing Wax:
What?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:38:00 pm)
Decoy:
That would be sweet. We could do whatever we want in there. We could play baseball all night long. Or leave the lounge open and serve on Sunday. Do we get to keep the machine gun turrets?

bela:
What does Decoy care about the s chools in your neighborhood for? He always has to find something to gripe about it seems.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:39:43 pm)
Decoy:
Bela asked what was she looking at, to which I replied, the racism index.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:40:18 pm)
Decoy:
I only listen to Buffalo radio because my city has no sports.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:40:58 pm)
bela:
I don't get it, racism index.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:41:40 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I just couldn't figure out what bela was "huh"ing about.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:41:47 pm)
Decoy:
Gripe? That may be true, I'll work on finding things that are funny, but not griping.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:41:56 pm)
bela:
Its not bad, I gripe all morning long at home whether someone listens or not.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:43:02 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I see. Those numbers are the precentage of students who scored at a proficiency level.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:43:24 pm)
bela:
Just be glad your kids don't have to mingle with the animals they call kids in my neighborhood. I'm scared in 10 years time.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:44:02 pm)
Decoy:
Standardized tests have long been accused of favoring your average white kids. Meaning, most of the questions aren't likely to be in the context that a subculture can readily grasp.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:44:10 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Shut up
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:44:45 pm)
bela:
Yeah really, thats crap.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:45:18 pm)
Decoy:
See, you can always count on Wax to read about what it means really. I just assumed, what an ass.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:45:25 pm)
Chewing Wax:
It's also not fair. They pluck all the smart kids out and put them into City Honors, leaving the other schools with morons. How can that be fair?
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:45:26 pm)
bela:
Blah blah blah. I hate people like him.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:45:33 pm)
Decoy:
I didn't invent that, its from California.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:46:19 pm)
bela:
Oh all the smart kids go to school together? Hmm.
(Wed Oct 24, 2001 - 3:46:29 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Yeh. That's what City Honors is for. They segregate the smart kids. It's only fair. But they can't expect the other schools to be full of smart kids too.
