The New Educational Testing System in Florida has bugs. The new testing procedures implemented in the public schools in Florida were being suspended until the glitches were address by the company who came up the testing procedures. This company was paid to 220 million dollars to ensure a seamless testing process for the state. They call it a glitch but the real problem is that the school districts have no way to fix the problem. The frequency of the errors or glitches of the computer related issues with the state and federal government are on the rise. The local level of control of the individual educational district in the United States is rapidly decreasing. There have been state takeovers of several city school districts such as Detroit, Atlantic City, Camden,just to name a few. Even the manner in which a teacher is hired and retained is slowly going into the states hands not the schools based on tests with glitches. It may have been a glitch but it is a sign of much worse to come.
