Did you know that the most important part of my job is to administer the 'End of Grade Tests'? There's regular EOGs, then there is Extend 2 (watered down EOGs), then there is Extend 1 (for kids who really can't do academics), then there is the retests of all three. It takes at least a month. I'm in the middle of it now, and it's all an exercise in reading a script. (Do you really need a Masters degree to do this?) I'm testing a kid in a one-on-one (actually two adults on one if you include the proctor) setting this week, and so far, he's been a compliant participant. So.....all is good. Last year, I wrote a haiku about testing. This year........EOGs drain the life out of creativity and of me. I can't wait until it's over.
