Testing nightmares

I have the unfortunate pleasure of  testing 464 children for the state of Colorado (luckily not by myself). I have some amusing observations from today alone that leave me utterly exhausted. First of all, since when does "one" mean color in every bubble on the page. Then i had a student get up during the test and try to help his non English speaking buddy to do better.....seriously kid sit down!! One child thought his shoe was more important than the test and since he was given the opportunity to test...well we have to leave him be. Then what do you do with the test that little kindie what's his name who drew flying robots and monkeys all over his test....yes you guessed it, you get a giant eraser and get erasing. Then there are the not so know -it-alls who are done first and absolutely refuse to check their work eventhough you know that they got them all wrong. Well until the fun begins again on Tuesday I am going to rest and hopefully I will not repeat test items in my sleep.
