I was hallway monitor as well last year for the EOGs!! I figured that if my daughters had to be excruciatingly bored during the testing, then I would suffer along with them. It was dreadful.
This made me laugh and I started wheezing/coughing because I have a really bad cold or bronchitis.
The kids in DD's class are going to be in for a treat if they are forced to sit there and do nothing until DD is done. That could be all day. LOL. She'll get a perfect score for the school though. I told the same thing to DD, and said it's all about the school looking good. I didn't tell her to mess it up but told her not to worry about it. Not sure if those two things are the same or not.
Ironically we get emails/bulletins/voice messages from the principal about the state standardized test and how kids should eat a good breakfast, get enough sleep, blah blah, but I never even know when the district computerized math/reading tests are going to be. THOSE are the tests that actually affect my child, in that they can be used to determine g/t eligibility. So the tests that are the highest stakes for my child and other children as individuals--the district doesn't care if the kids get enough sleep, are prepared, or do their best.
