Rich, We are having a "no more E testing" celebration. I am thinking of sending IEPA my 1 foot file of all this wasted paper and a bill for my time. Glad they finally came to their "cents" es (this was wasting 10 million dollars per year.) x 20 years = $200,000,000. Our schools sure could have used this money. Back in the 70s, yah I'am stuck in them, I was working for the U of I, and we did research for IEPA on the effectiveness of E testing in Illinois. All the models showed it was a waste of time and money. It would actually have been more effective and cost less to give 1,000 people FREE train transportation downtown from their previous daily commutes. But look at all the bureaucratic jobs and kick backs. All those $100,000 dyno's. (12 facilities x 5 dyno's each = $6,000,000) Never could find out who got that contract. This will save me almost 20 hours of time each year!!!
