8:45....kids are silent. Pencils go out. I pass out each test key and booklet on my own.
8:50....I begin the scripted instructions from the state as the kids sit in either apathy, or terror.
9:00... Testing begins.
9:05-12:00. I pace the room. Up and down and up and down. Picking up tests as kids finish, swapping out dull pencils, oooops caught a kid skipping ahead. Big no no.
Wow. So thrilling. Can't sit down. Just me and my thoughts as I pace aimlessly. Hahaha aims. Ooh geez.
