[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]

"Constitutional rights" and the First Amendment doesn't extend a blue-sky license to say or post whatever you like.  For example, it is still illegal to engage in libel, slander, to make false claims about products, to misrepresent yourself as a law enforcement officer or many other things, to threaten to kill someone or harm people or property, et cetera.[/quote]

Your point is?  All 1st Amendment rights have exceptions - that's not the question here. I'm not saying student should be allowed to post test questions to allow other's to cheat. [/quote]
