Testing Woes

i'm starting to hear the voices...the week of standardized testing always irritates me a bit. for one, all the people that can't go with the "flexibility flow" quickly reveal themselves. i still don't understand the "jump off a cliff" quotient that some can have over #2 pencils, revised schedules, etc. heh?? this year, though, i have a new challenge. maybe two challenges is more appropriate. i have two very determined young men...who are making my hair fall out. one is set in a plan to do the testing "his way". no lie..he told me that after i caught him doing entirely different tests than the rest. it gets better though...since the first redirection, he's attempted 3 more times!!! what the heck??? the other one has it in his head that he can write in the test booklets and just take time out of classes later to transfer all his answers to the bubble sheet. how many times have i now clarified this???...ya, that'd be 4!!! any wonder why the "voices" are back on the table??? hehe.
