Perhaps CTB/McGraw Hill Should Have Tested More
For the second year in a row, students taking online high-stakes standardized tests in Oklahoma had to stop because of problems in the software. copyrightjoestrazzere
- About 8,100 Oklahoma students experienced problems
- Many could never make it past the sign-in screen
- Many were unexpectedly kicked out in the middle of the test
- In spite of problems last year, the state renewed its contract with the company for more than $13 million this year in large part because there was not enough time to solicit bids and select another vendor
- The Education Department is considering switching to pencil and paper testing
- This appears to be 100 percent a failing of CTB
Like last year, CTB/McGraw Hill gets an "F" on their report card.
Perhaps next year they will do their homework and test more.
