Department of Education announces new college readiness standard

On Tuesday Education Secretary Ms. Frizzle announced a new initiative to better prepare high school students for college. These goals must be met for college level high school classes and include
  • All college level classes must stop taking role.
  • No cell phones can be confiscated.
  • Youtube must not be blocked
  • Being on facebook during lectures must be permissible.
  • Instead of playing basketball with a trash can, review sessions must begin with a cool or funny youtube video that doesn't relate to the curriculum at all.
Mary Marion, a student at Blithmore University said she agrees with the new standards, "when I was a freshmen I was overwhelmed at the reality youtube was actually used for teaching, in high school the blocked youtube and I had a hard time getting used to the change."
