[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can do a live, virtual test.

Deal did live, proctored MAP testing for math placement this year. 
My Algebra 2 kid at Deal has live exams.

It would be difficult to live proctor a thousand kids but not impossible to live proctor 100 (if like the previous poster said there were private school kids who needed testing). [/quote]

And I know a kid who cheated on the MAP test.

There is no way to administer a secure and equitable test. [/quote]

A kid cheated on the Deal MAP math test?

Lol.  That's really something.

The prize for that cheating is being placed into a math class over your skill level.  As I type my kid is pounding out 2 hours of Algebra 2 homework.  Thankfully she didn't cheat her way into this class. 
No wonder she says that some kids are struggling.  [/quote]

Yup, by all reports it’s not going well.[/quote]

I'm so intrigued by this. Did a parent rig up a double monitor and feed the kid answers?
Does the kid cheat on the subsequent live exams that have been given in the class? 
What happens when the kid goes on to precalc next year and then calculus and beyond?
Will the parent continue to do the work all the way though high school?
It just seems so incredibly short sighted.

I have a kid who was ready for this course and we're still not sure it's a good thing.  Not because the kid can't do the math now but 
because what's to come down the road (math beyond calculus in high school).  It would really suck to be the kid who was inappropriately pushed up. [/quote]
