It seems that one day after school, a student posted a tweet which referenced a test item... this was picked up by Pearson monitoring social media and referred to the state's Department of Education.

What agreements are proactively in place to alert students not to reference test items when they talk about their day?

I don't like the secrecy here. The testing is so silly anyway. My kid has had 8 standardized tests so far this year. What's the point? Not a single thing has changed based on testing.
