What the heck does CRCT stand for?

I live in Virginia and they take SOLs here. My daughter will have to take it for the first time this year, but I've heard that if they don't pass the SOL test then they don't move on to the next grade!! I really hope this isn't true, it's a LOT of pressure.

Schools and the CRCT test inquiry...sm
Out of curiosity here.... in the area you live in, do your schools basically become just a babysitting facility after the CRCTs are administered until the last day of school? I've been through CRCT testing with my children now for 5 years and the minute they finish those tests, from that day on until the last day of school they're watching movies, spending more play time, etc. at school & very little actual school work. It's like the schools are busy teaching the CRCT criteria and once the testing is completed they don't do diddly squat for the last month of school.
What about in your area?
Heck yes!

What the heck is it????

Been there - heck, there now!...
Same thing at my house - if i'm the least little sick, husband asks if I need to go to the hospital. If I say I don't, then by golly I should be well enough to keep working, cleaning, taking care of him and the kids, etc. I feel your pain! :(
Heck, ask him. Maybe you can get some $ from

How the heck
Call me dumb but I have to ask before I try this. You put the dandruff shampoo on your face? and is this a 3-step process, rinsing between, or you put it all on together? How often do you do this once a week, a month?
What the heck?
Physical ramifications? Which ones are those? You all start on the biggest bunch of getting shrinks for this, ramifications for a piece of skin cut off as a child, no wonder kids now days are a bunch of wimps. The parents are making them like that. No man or boy that I have ever known has had to go into therapy because of a circumcision. Bunch of crock.
No, what they heck are they thinking?

What the heck does your post have anything at all
to do with my husband's health??? Obviously you've posted in the wrong area!!
Romey! How the heck are ya?!
Ham was in the cam all day today...it's about 45 degrees out and she has been out there all day is turning BRIGHT pink! I'm actually worried she's going to burn, but she insists on lying out there and soaking in the rays. Can't say I blame her one bit. If I could, I'd be moving this 'puter thing outside and doing my work out there today! It was 10 degrees out there this morning and overnight and we have had nothing but snow and ice for ages it seems...such a welcome sight that sunshine is!
Well, after a week in the Mirra chair, I sat in this Aeron and wow--what a difference. I actually like it better than the Mirra! The seat is bigger, and with a caboose as big as mine, that makes a huge difference. This is a well-used demo model though and it kinda tips to the left, but I think if I am gonna spring the bucks, I'm gonna do it on this style. My husband now has the Mirra chair for a week and as soon as he sat in that one he said, "Oh yuck...can I have that other one back now?"
I haven't talked to the rep guy yet..just got his voicemail, but when he shows up next week to take these chairs back I will most definitely ask that question for you, as I'd like to know the answer too!
Glad your friend enjoyed seeing piggy. Just WAIT until mud season (which hopefully is only a few more weeks away)...she will be out there all the time and in her absolute glory! Her favorite game is to tip over the water trough and make more mud...that's when you see me, all wild haired and disheveled, running out there to turn it upright and refill it with H20. It usually goes badly because she dumps it as it's filling and I can't do squatola about it. I may be big, but she's waaaay bigger and I think if we were to get into a fight, well, she'd win hooves down.
Heck yeah!
My daughter is a few months younger than Celine's son. She has her hair buzzed by her request. (I use the 3/4 inch buzzer guide.) She is tops of her class, very respectful, and loves to help out her teacher in class. She is well behaved, but she does pick on her little sisters sometimes like any kid. She's a really good kid. When we go to the nursing home to visit my husband (he's a nurse), the residents typically assume she's a boy because of her hair, which annoys her. Otherwise she is as girly as can be, much girlier than her mom with long hair!
I figure it's just hair--who cares as long as the child can handle the hair issues? Eventually there will be much bigger battles to be fought than the length of hair.
Go Celine!
HECK NO!! I can eat what i want, drink what i want
it's time to eat all the cheesburgers and milkshakes I want!!! I'm looking forward to old age :)
Can I guess, heck yes, I saw her
Yes, it is a her, not the him that is still waiting but she could not stop that horrible slobbering, crying crap. I appreciate the fact she can sing but do we now have to put up with all that stuff that goes along with it. I would rather have a low key as good a singer without all that drama. Oh, well, the judges' choice.
I bet you thought what the heck! ...nm

You have one heck of a memory...sm
I can't even remember what my screen name was! I do remember the story about mysterious rocks in the yard, though.  Some of those stories were hysterical. Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor. Remember how weird things turned during the guess-the-item/person contests?
heck yeah!
I'm single, 44 and have 2 grandkids (my girls are 21, 24 and 26) - one more grandchild on the way! And I start training tomorrow nite to become a foster parent  ... I told my kids it's either a puppy or a baby, so we settled on foster parenting lol... I'm glad I had my kids early, it gave me a chance to grow up with them if you would and they couldn't pull any shenanigans... made it a lot easier for me to relate to what they were going thru and know what they were up to haha... my mom was clueless due to her being 36 years older than me... it was really rough raising 3 girls by myself - especially the 2 oldest that were so close in age - it was the hormone house from hell, but I would do it all over again if i could in a heartbeat! 
Heck no sounds like you can't tell the difference.

Ah heck, she just made you a cake
and didn’t want to tell you any different.
new grads--how in the heck to they make any
I went to a brick and mortar college for my year long MT educational course which included a 225 hour preceptorship at a local clinic. I obtained a job at a local hospital and was STILL looking up stuff and asking for help from the gals I worked with. I think it's incredibly nieve for anyone to think they can take a correspondence course and jump right in to making any money at this. Things like peau d’ orange and "full stop", they don't teach you that in school, you need hands on for a while.
Mine sure as heck did - he became a 'she'.
Aw heck, I'm a total hick and even I know to call...
on an RSVP to let them know that they can count me in or out. It just seems like one of those common courtesy things...at least call whoever to let them know you got the invite for sure and it wasn't lost in the mail.
Heck no! 40 is a great age- you know enough not to mess around but you don't have Alzheimer's
How the heck do some of these people have money for all the surgeries? NM

And what the heck is "mechanically separated chicken"?? nm

Heck no! Finally had to get a fake one due to hub's allergies, but it is a beauty once it's up

To Heck With Ole Santa Clause - Loretta Lynn
Ay-Ay-Ay it's Christmas and I don't know what to do -- Ay-ay-ay It's Christmas and I don't have a gift for you. My kids especially love it! They sing it to me and in response I sing to them "I'm Getting Nothing for Christmas" -- except changed to "You're Getting Nothing for Christmas."
If anything irks the heck out of me, it is when "single mother" is mentioned as to
why someone would be more entitled to get something. What it means to me is she should wait for kids until maybe she can afford them and not before. Being single does not entitle. Dang, I know welfare folks who feel about the same entitlement and they use the welfare system and have gotten plenty, section 8, food stamps and just because something free, they would wait hours in line to get a freebie. I know 1 lady, previously married, 2 kids, got welfare, food stamps and yet living with a guy who had a city job making good money. Sorry but I feel different about food stamps because I have seen so much abuse go on and definitely hate the fact when someone brings up "single" mother meaning they should get more just because they did not think ahead about feeding extra mouths.
Adam and Eve, to tell them to stay the heck away from the forbidden tree!!! sm
Tell me we wouldn't be in better shape just hanging in the Garden of Eden??? (When my daughter was little, she used to wish she had a time machine so she could go back).
Heck yeah I'd love a gift certificate to Tractor Supply!
I found a really neat gift there for a horse lover thats only $50. It's a (fake) bush that is cut like a horse and has Christmas lights on it. Very cool (at least I thought so!)
Maybe a personalized saddle pad? You could get someone to embroider his name (or his horses name) on it.
Heck no!! In fact just bought a GMC Yukon Denali to haul the family around in for trips.

What does LOL stand for.
Use to think it meant lots of luck, but that doesn't pertain to this board.
I Can't Stand Men Your Age Either!!
I married older because I thought he would have his you-know-what together. WRONG! He went down, financially-speaking, and took me down with him. I heard he's in the middle of divorcing his third wife (I was his second).
But...boy, did I love him.
I can't stand him ever since
he did the show on Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome and called the show "extreme disorders." That was pretty crappy. And the Asperger kid's parents were totally abusive and Dr. Phil didn't even call them on it.
But I have to admit I watch it, its like reading National Equirer- I'm drawn to it but embarrassed to admit it!
What's HMR stand for? n/m

Can't stand her!
The reason the paparazzi follow her is because they know she will do something ignorant like she always does. You don't see many other celebs being chased like she is. If she would act like a decent adult then they would have no reason to follow her around. But she continues to act like a child to get the attention she wants. It makes me the maddest because those paparazzi drive so recklessly, and one of these days they are going to injure or even kill someone when they hit them head on by driving down the wrong side of the road. Ugh. Makes me sick. Like the OP said, STAY HOME! Its like the time she drove with her baby on her lap and everyone coddles her and told her it was okay, people make mistakes. Um, NO. That is not a mistake. That is a blatantly wrong thing to do. I am just so tired of her, and I wish she would drop her custody case and just let Kevin have the boys. At least he is stable.
I stand by what I said.
Her daughter called and maybe she did think her mom was upset, but the fact that her mom got annoyed by this is just insane. If she was on an important phone call with her dying aunt, why she bothered to answer her other phone, no matter who was calling, is beyond me. As a result, she posted this topic about whether she should let the answering machine get the phone or she should disconnect her phone. That is a no brainer. If you don't want to talk to someone or are on another important call, let the answering machine get it. She made mention that she might let the answering machine pick up all of her daughter's calls and not call back just to see what her daughter will think.....isn't that a bit childish.
So I don't know her whole family history and maybe her son is an ungrateful turd. If he won't talk to his mom because she got money he thought he deserved, that is his problem. But for her to not be the adult and bigger person by at least trying to mend that relationship......as far as I'm concerned, she can't blame everything on him if she isn't willing to mend it either.
As for her happiness and family getting her down....sounds to me as if she is the one who thinks her family owes her something since she bailed her son out of jail and paid for her daughter's college. If she is so happy with her laugh and content, why in the world she is posting on here about whether or not she should let the answering machine pick up her daughter's phone calls?
I have no sympathy for someone who isn't smart enough to make the decision of whether or not to answer her telephone.
Stand up!
Why do our companies never stand up to dictators like this? I have one who honestly sounds like he's drunk and he speaks English as a first language! I call him smushmouth because all I can understand is smusha-smusha-smusha at any speed level. I had one at an old hopsital who had narcolepsy! He would literally fall asleep while dictating so you'd have to sit there and wait for him to wake back up and then he'd start over or start in the middle of a sentence he never began. Drives me nuts.
What kills me too is that one of my in-laws is from Russia. Her mom was a doctor there. She can't become a doctor here because she says her English isn't good enough and it costs so much money to take the tests to get her reciprocal certification. Heck her English is 10 times better than half the idiots we get so how do THEY pass the test? Sorry needed to vent today!
I can't stand...
walkie talkie cell phones. It's bad enough to hear one side of someone else's conversation standing in line at the grocery store. I DO NOT want to hear BOTH sides. Especially if it's a dumb argument. Take it outside or wait until you get home!
can't stand the.....
GEICO caveman commercials... I just don't get it...
...especially the one where the caveman and his chick are on the beach with the metal detector and he finds keys with a GEICO key fob and tosses down his equipment, then the girlfriend picks it all up for him... yeah.. in his DREAMS!! LOL
maybe not the stand, but instead I am
Maybe it was on purpose. The man who gave Obama the tour died two days later.
I can't stand him.

Can't stand Rosie, but never ....
thought much of Donald either. I can't believe how much attention this whole thing is getting. I wish they would both go away.
I had PMS so bad I couldn't stand myself let alone anyone
else. I got a great PMS pill from a chiropractor that helped a lot, and after moved from that area I would buy mega-B vitamin pills and take them. They really made a difference. Good luck and, believe me, you have a LOT of company! I had PMS long before they ever put a name on it.
I can't stand TV in general.
I watch MAYBE 1 hour a week of regular ol' TV and that is just local news blurbs. I am a big movie fanatic though.
What I really can't stand about the crap coming over the airways is the constant barrage of DRUG ADS--whether they are for prescription drugs or OTC stuff. It's just too much.
I saw a spot on the news about how stores are contemplating putting in little LCD screens into those "kiddie carts" that the adult can plug $1 into, put the kid in the plastic car/cart thing, so the kid basically can stay numbly tuned into some show while the parents shops in quiet comfort.
Heaven forbid kids are made to behave while out in public. Oh don't even get me going on the sheer retardedness of it all...
I never could stand all the talking over each other.
From the very beginning, it seemed like at least 3 of them were so excited to talk they were hyperventilating and jumping in and talking over each other. Not my cup of tea.
I can't stand doctors like that who won't
listen. At least a colonoscopy is good for about 10-15 years, LOL.
Dont think you have a leg to stand on
The difference between owning and renting is what you are up against. The swimming pool does not belong to you, nothing around there as far as buildings and so on is yours. The owners have the right to come onto their own property, I would think, and throw down as many cigarettes as they want, they own it, right? Otta luck, seems like.
Do you have a backbone, can you not stand
up for yourself? People only take advantage of you if you let them. I have a very good word for people like this, NO.
Good for you, stand your course
she should have been sent home and should not be allowed to return. Your home, your rules.
me2-cannot stand Jen and was angry she got HOH
I cannot stand her but I do like David
