You have to believe that there is something inherently wrong with a test that has this high of stakes attached to it.  If you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement with a profit seeking company when you are in public school at age 14, there's a problem.  [/quote]

I agree. A teacher fully understands the ramifications about disclosing content outside of the test, but sorry, there is no way to monitor kids.  Posting question content on social media is Pearson's issue- not the kids. After all, the states have contracts with Pearson- the kids do not. By virtue of  being a student in Md. they are merely pawns in a game.There is nothing illegal about their impressions, questions about content, etc. posted on social media.

Now, wouldn't it be great if kids' social media sites were monitored for the effects of bullying?

Hmmm..priorities are skewed.[/quote]

Pearson may be protecting their brand by these notifications, which is required under our skewed trademark laws. The schools will decide if anything needs to be done about or to the kids. Complaining online about the test is fine, posting test questions is not. Yet another area where children can do things online and get in big trouble for it.[/quote]
