not a candy suggestion, but a song!
By noreenk

Clip to ScrapBook   
In Texas we take the TAKS, and someone forwarded along this tune...

The TAKS Song
(to the tune of "I Will Survive")

At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinkin' I could never pass it even
if I tried.
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' hard and thinkin' long,
And I grew strong,
And I learned how to carry on.

Now TAKS is back, from outer space.
I just walked in to find that test staring at me
right in the face.
I know that I can really rock.
I know that I have got the key.
And now I know it's all because
My teachers
taught the strategies.

Go on now, go, walk to that door.
Just walk on through now,
'Cause you're not frightened anymore.
Weren't you the test that tried to
throw me off the trail?
Did I crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and fail?

Oh no not I. I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know the strategies,
I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my time to give and I'll survive.
I will survive. Hey, Hey!
