The administrators of the Teacher2Teacher service have recently learned that
this conversation potentially infringed upon the copyright of ETS, which
administers the Praxis exam.
Our understanding of ETS's policy is that any posting of material very
similar to questions on the test is considered copyright infringement. In
particular, memorizing and publicly sharing test items, whether done
innocently or on purpose, is considered copyright infringement. Discussion of
general content (e.g., general geometry principles or "make sure you remember
the Pythagorean theorem ...") does not constitute infringement.
We also understand that ETS takes this very seriously, since the sharing of
test items intended for use on later tests could impact the value of those
tests.
In light of this potential infringement, the T2T administrators have removed
all posts that explicitly discussed material from Praxis exams, and posts
that referred to such posts. At the author's request, we've also removed
posts that referenced, by name, a discussant who raised our attention to the
potential infringement.
To obtain permission to reproduce content authored by ETS, please complete
the relevant licensing permission form by visiting ets.org, clicking on the
link to "Legal" toward the bottom of their home page, then choosing from the
left-hand navbar the appropriate "Related Links."
