EducationAssessment & Testing4HighTeacher$ implied

A special education teacher is frustrated with a new assessment platform that requires more work than paper-and-pencil testing, including monitoring students' laptops to prevent cheating, uploading classwork, and creating standards for each individual question instead of the entire test.

The new assessment platform increases teacher workload by requiring per-question standard tagging, active monitoring for cheating, and manual uploads, without offering time-saving benefits.
