[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS teachers hate it. They're basically providing free labor for a for-profit company by being forced to act as test administrators and proctors. Instruction is interrupted. [/quote]

The College Board is actually a not-for-profit organization.[/quote]

The College Board is a not-for-profit in name only.

As a teacher who proctored the SAT this past Tuesday, I wholeheartedly agree with the pp who stated that we hate it.  While I like the idea of giving the SAT on a school day to increase access to more students, I find it appalling that MCPS provides teachers as proctors for this very profitable company.

One of two things should happen going forward:

1. The CB should pay each school what they would have paid proctors to administer the test.  Included in that should be payment for the untold number of hours administrators had to work putting it all together.

2. The CB hires proctors like it would on a Saturday, freeing up teachers to do things we’re paid to do like prepping lessons, grading, planning, etc.

I am not an employee of the College Board!  I am an MCPS employee and should not be doing work for the CB on the MCPS clock.[/quote]
