[quote=Anonymous]This was a sheer, unmitigated sh*tshow at our school this past Monday. First grade. We were supposed to administer it at our homes. We were sent an email Friday after 5 pm, for the test to be done at 9:30 am Monday morning. Screw those of us with jobs and meetings. Then we were supposed to keep logged into our main classroom, cameras on, mics off, and do the assessment "synchronously". Well, the teachers wouldn't stop talking in the main classroom, so the kids couldn't hear the voice prompts. Finally we shut down the meeting. Apparently, in some other classrooms the parents were caught on camera and mic giving kids the answers. In our house, there was more screaming than in all of Exorcist and all the Scream movies combined, because I wouldn't provide help. It was very traumatic, but I know that's not how it goes in school. These teachers and the county have to recognize we are working in different conditions and some things are just not going to work, so don't expect them to work like they do for you! And make all of this optional, and create ways to assess the kids that are informative, helpful, and not traumatic. And finally get to effin teach them something. It's week for for Pete's sake![/quote]
