We aren't allowed to do anything else while they test. And it's not two hours, it's all day... we start at 9:00 a.m., and I've been known to still be monitoring hallways at 5:00 p.m. They're the most boring days of the year! We can't have computers on, no phones, no books, no magazines, nothing... it's even MORE fun when you are like me - a pullout who gets one or two students for small group.. and then I just sit.. and stare at them for hours on end... and try not to fall asleep. When/IF we finish testing our group, then we help monitor in the hallways, relieve classroom teachers who need a break, monitor students in the restroom (no talking about the test - cause that's what I'D want to talk about in the restroom if I were 8!.. ) It's so totally ridiculous. And last year we had TEA observing us - we have tile halls, so we all wear soft sole shoes on TAKS day, she wore heels... and clickity clicked down the halls all day long... I will say the test is appropriately named.. because it is the most TAKSing day of the year!!
