[OPLINLIST] Proctoring

[Cass Owens]

We are struggling with this.  While it fits with our mission, we are using
staff time to perform staff services for a school which is making a profit
and charging tuition.  In addition, some of the schools have become very
demanding -- e.g. one place required that we *time* each section of the
test.  Others require that we fax within a certain number of hours.   All
in all, proctoring is a hardship on a small staff such as ours.

For these reasons we are re-considering proctoring.

We really do not want to hurt the students so we will proceed carefully.
