CRCT, I need a number 2 Pencil, to poke my eyes out!!!!!

This is will be a short entry, because I need to be at school to ready myself, for the CRCT tests. All this week and a few days next week, kids are bubbling away, standardize testing at its best.
I have kids that are just beginning to learn English, required to answer questions about Georgia History!!!
Mainstream children dread these tests, not only are they so boring, but all the answers look nearly, the same.
What do you think is the BEST answer???? That seems like it could be any ones opinion, my best answer may not be yours????
I wish I had a solution, but I don't. School systems have been using this system for YEARS!!! Maybe that is the problem, the powers that be, we need a better way to test children.
Example:
CRCT-What is the best shape of the house, that any leader( such as the president of a big country) would choose to live in? Pick the Best answer!!!
a. A large house
b. A house that would hold a lot of people.
c. A house divided.???
d. A house painted white.
e. None of the above?
f. All of the above??
g. What country? I think presidents all over the world may live in all kinds of houses!!!!!!??
h. Can I turn the page now???
i. Can I go to the bathroom?
j. My pencil broke?

That was an example of what the CRCT looks like to middle school age children.

My job today, after I apologize, do your best.
question from student- What does CRCT stand for Mrs. Baron?

Lazy people, who are not thinking about the student, but I keep that to myself.

I replied, " CRCT means you need a number 2 pencil, angel."
