Yes, it is though my mind and body have just gone into overload and then into shut down. It's hard to know where to start, or do I say start over?

> Ditto.  I am not only test coordinator, but I also teach alternative all day, am the school counselor, website director, ISIS coordinator and multiple other jobs.  I am tired of all of this testing setup.  I am beginning to think that I am getting Alzheimer’s because I can’t keep up with anything anymore.  I was working until 8 or 9 every night but I refuse to do it anymore.  Please take testing away from us.  I used to love the testing aspect of my job, but now I hate to get emails, especially when I have to unload content that I have just loaded.  Oh, I am also the technology coordinator.  Please let us get through this testing season because summer is just right around the corner.

And they say the Writing test can't be read aloud to IEP students---not sure they know what they're talking about.  And those materials come during OCCT testing.  How many people do they think are building test coordinators because I can only stretch so far.  Evidently they have no idea how long it takes to box tests up and mail back.  After a certain point, our schedule is filled with end of year activities that we cannot all of a sudden cancel or reschedule.  Yes!  Rant, Rant, Rant!  Gail Fine, Sallisaw
