***A representative of the state should be present at all testing done for NCLB. Then the tests should be removed immediately and be graded by the state.
The schools can not be trusted to be honest about this kind of thing since they have so much at stake.***
There’s a much cheaper way than paying all those state representatives to monitor the exams. NO teacher at the same level of the exams should be present during the exams. Instead, have teachers of LOWER grades monitor each exam. For example, a second grade teacher could monitor a sixth grade exam. The second grade teacher would not know the correct answers and could not help the students cheat.
Looks like the rats in jersey are going to be taken to the woodshed. And Christie is going to make them hand him the belt.
That wont work either, they would still cheat since the outcome of the test affect the “whole school” not just a certain grade. If a school does poorly repeatedly on that test they close it down. Their jobs are litterally on the line, there is too much incentive to for them to cheat.
It would only take one state employee to do this. Just have the tests at each school scheduled on successive days and the one state employee just travels from school to school monitoring and collecting the exams.
