In my day, standardized testing took one afternoon. Today, it's weeks and weeks of testing disruption.

Weeks and weeks? My kid had five days of PARCC testing, over two weeks. I guess that's weeks, but it's not weeks and weeks.[/quote]

It took nearly a month to test all of the students in my school.  Teachers were pulled to proctor tests.  Our technology sucks so some testing days were total losses b/c the servers were down, etc.  We will then have MSA science tests the week we get back from Spring Break for 2 grades and then in early May, we will repeat the PARCC testing ALL OVER AGAIN.  I was pulled for testing for 10 days (mostly mornings).  Schedules were changed to accommodate the testing.  Our reading specialist is also our testing coordinator so she hasn't pulled her remedial groups since mid February or so.  This is just one of many tests our kids take.  Benchmarks in math and reading, ESOL testing, Wireless testing, etc etc.  The list goes on and the testing for kids who are below grade level in reading is every 2 weeks or so.  Every 2 weeks, teachers stop teaching to sit one on one with kids below grade level to test their reading level.  It is never ending.[/quote]
