[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posting test questions is a serious breach - it compromises exams and increases the costs.

This kind of thing is not unusual for testing companies - I have seen a lot of different instances where social media and message forums for technical certification and professional licensure exams are monitored by the testing people to try and minimize breaches.[/quote]

We don't know if this girl actually posted a full question. The allegation is that she posted something AFTER the test ABOUT one of the questions. She absolutely has a constitutional right to post about a question in some cases, if it doesn't give away the answer. If this is a question of a purported contractual confidentiality agreement between the child and Pearson, I find that very disturbing. [/quote]

[b]Exactly. Free speech certainly extends to this.[/b]

Next up is tracking us all down to silence us against speaking out about Pearson. [/quote]

Err, what?  Free speech extends to posting a question AFTER the test?  Or if you throw the word contract in there, then the student can do anything, constitutionally-speaking?[/quote]
