A representative of the state and or federal government should be present at all testing for NCLB
Well, from my 6 years experience as a teacher administering standardized exams, I’ve never seen a state rep. at a test, but the admin. have always said that they “could” come.
The point where this stuff happens is in the classroom (teachers pointing at answers, nodding, shaking heads), and when the tests get put in the vault (they get taken out and erased - but this can be found out by erasure analysis).
