We have many, many standardized tests that we give to our students in this age of testing mania. I counted up a total of approximately discrete testing "events" that students are required to sit for in the course of the school year. That counts reading, writing, and math tests as individual "events." Some of the tests are given three times each school year. The contrast is very strong with my school career, which was back in the stone age. I think that we took a standardized test every three years or so. I think that these kids take more tests by September than I took from kindergarten through eighth grade.
One of the tests is given on computer, and is internet based. I was in the middle of one of the tests yesterday when the power in the school went down. Voila. No server. No communication with the test site. In the middle of the test! Even after the school's generator was turned back on, our server needed to be reset. I was able to get in after things were back up and pause and restart the test for most of the takers. Not for everyone, though. A couple of kids had frozen test screens, and I just suspended their tests so that they can, I hope, finish them later.
Nice relaxing way to spend the afternoon. More testing today. I hope that the power will stay on...
