Would you say there just might be a real problem with a school test if parents aren't allowed to see them, even after they're done?

From this article: ‘Parents have not seen the tests, however. This is because of a clause inserted by Pearson that instructs educators to keep the content of the tests confidential, even after they’re completed. (The exact consequences for violating this gag order remain unclear: A New York City Department of Education spokesperson deferred to the state education department, which did not respond to inquiries on the subject.) New York state education officials did release a sampling of questions from last year’s exams, but several educators who’ve seen the full tests say the most problematic questions were omitted.”

I would say it’s down right illegal not to allow the parents access to their kid’s information.
