Child Torture Program (CTP)

The CTP, known professionally as the Comprehensive Testing Program and platitudinously as the "Child Torture Program," were a series of standardized examinations given to students each year in Middle School. With no direct correlation to grades, GPA, or high school admittance, the tests were viewed as a waste of time by many. Thought of as an extension of The Collet Administration's Psychological Warfare and "PsyOps" program, dubbed PSY as short (after the Korean pop singer most notable for his rendition of Gangnam Style), President Brodie along with political proponents covertly and surreptitiously investigated strategies to inhibit the administration of such tests.

Testing Weeks
Some of the most controversial weeks of Middle School were CTP Testing Weeks, hyperbolized by certain students—namely those in the Dog Squad—as "Hell Week", after [https://navyseals.com/nsw/hell-week-0/#:~:text=Hell%20Week%20is%20the%20defining,than%20four%20hours%20of%20sleep. one of the toughest Navy SEAL training weeks]. In the hopes of winning favor with the students, during the testing weeks the school administration decreed, without any proceeding enforcement, that no homework may be administered. As is foreshadowed, homework was still conferred upon the students, much to the pique of test takers.
