<p class=MsoNormal>Well, when I did the Webinar and they didn't know what a
Portfolio was, I lost all faith. 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.
