Stressful Mornings

The kids did the MAP test virtually yesterday and today. It's a nationally normed test that we usually take 3 times a year. We haven't taken it in a year. I'm the only one with the MAP reading access for the grade which means 48 students plus some parents and 6 teachers were calling, texting, emailing, and sending DMs on the computer for 2 hours.  Did I mention the testing website requires a very specific screen resolution and needs pop-ups enabled?  Yeah, so I had to explain, repeatedly, to most of the students how to do that without being able to see their screens. Oh AND the kids took a different test every morning all of last week so they're grumpy and tired. It was probably the most stressed I've been at work in almost a year.
