It may be the 2018 version of a student calling in a bomb threat to a school.
A reported cyberattack on Questar Assessment, the vendor for Tennessee’s TNReady tests, has fouled the assessments process for students, teachers and public school districts. It is the third straight year in which testing has been compromised for one reason or another.
Unfortunately, the Volunteer State was only one of at least seven states where the computerized testing process was interrupted over the past two weeks.
Before the broader attack on Minneapolis-based Questar was known, some Democrats in the Tennessee legislature were calling for Commissioner of Education Dr. Candice McQueen to be fired over the problem.
Clearly, they should look before they leap.
