The PARCC test (which my daughter just wrapped up taking) is a computer-administered test, and I assume if Pearson is the company responsible for the questions, then Pearson is running the websites that grade the tests and provide the results to individuals, schools, districts, states, etc. So I'm a little confused by outrage over the potential of Pearson to "collect personal information" about students via Twitter etc, when by definition Pearson is collecting an extreme amount of personal information about every public-school student in every one of these states administering this test.
