If the line to get a McDonald's breakfast was longer than usual Tuesday, it was probably because of students claiming their free pre-test meals. State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, tests are being administered in Texas schools today until Friday, so the fast-food chain offered complimentary breakfasts for students and teachers on the first day of tests.

 



On Tuesday, "#STAARtest" was trending on Twitter and Texans took notice. The tests are administered throughout the year for different subjects and grade levels.

 



This week, standardized tests include fourth- and seventh-grade writing; reading and math for fifth- and eighth-grades, English I and any make-up tests for such subjects. Some schools, such as Quail Valley Elementary School in Missouri City and Warner Elementary School in Cypress, held pep rallies to motivate students for the tests.

 



 



But some on social media, including students and Austin Mayor Steve Adler's Communications Director Jason Stanford, were less than enthusiastic about the tests.

 



The Texas Education Agency delayed test results in 2016 due to online connectivity issues and inaccurate results. TEA fined testing vendor Educational Testing Service $5.7 million and directed the company to invest $15 million into its services, Community Impact Newspaper previously reported.

Whatever their feelings on the tests, Twitter users did not hold back. See what others around the Greater Houston area said about this week's STAAR:
