[CALIBK12] make up tests in library

[Barbara Duffy]

Yes!  Blanche - Right on!
 
In our library if students come in to take a test everyone knows  they
are on their own.  We treat them like any student who comes in with a
valid pass.  (We send them back if they DON'T have a valid pass.)

Pat,

The library as spot for make-up testing implies you have nothing better

to do than moniter a student making up a test. It will be only a short

time until you will be asked to oversee students who are on detention.

When this comes, you should make the library so much fun for detention

that students are eager to come and then detention won't be detention,

will it.

As far as monitering tests, it would be better if the students went
almost 
anywhere else where they would have someone able to watch them take the

test. You could explain that since youcwon't be able to really make
sure 
they aren't using notes, listening to ipods, texting their friends for
the 
answers, that having the guidance office or someother spot in the
school 
(main office) do this.

Don't create a form. This implies that you are, in fact, going to be 
responsible and you really don't want to be because you really can't
watch 
a student to make sure the work they are doing is their work.
