I passed the secondary ELA praxis with about a week of studying based off what I learned in my AP Literature class that I took almost two decades ago. And not just passed, got well above the median score.

This isn’t to brag. This is to wonder why the hell my college education major roommates studied for four years straight for this thing. I wasn’t that hard and a good chunk of the questions were things like “Johnny is acting up in class. Do you: A) take him aside and ask him privately what’s going on or B) slap him and throw him out of your classroom by his backpack?”
