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<br>

<div dir="ltr">Does anyone want to join me on a RANT at the rally about 3-4 testing companies next year and all the work of the upcoming tryout tests? Too much time and energy is being spent in Oklahoma on poorly designed tests that make an A-F report card. <br>
