But fair is fair. The state told the company they had two months to change to a paper test with sufficient supplies in every school. That's a tall order for any publishing firm. Contact printers and they'll say how much is in the queue ahead unless it's a rush order that will cost beaucoup bucks, which the state didn't amend the contract to provide, did they? Yes, Measurement, Inc. failed, but Tennessee is scapegoating the same as Vammy Pammy, FL Commish, did last year. Own it, Tennessee and get rid of testing, period, and all the people in your bureaucracy that continue to advocate this educational abuse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544213160574214282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-35216166926143184372016-04-28T08:05:16.664-04:002016-04-28T08:05:16.664-04:00Time for a refund on faulty product....does that e...Time for a refund on faulty product....does that ever happen in test world?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105074224970128175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-27055201931815588902016-04-28T06:21:04.534-04:002016-04-28T06:21:04.534-04:00Don't forget to count all the time spent on te...Don't forget to count all the time spent on test preparation. In my experience, most of the children don't learn much from test prep. It wastes time that could have been spent learning something new or maybe even interesting.
