Probe Finds Widespread Cheating in Atlanta Schools

“Educators at nearly four dozen Atlanta elementary and middle schools cheated on standardized tests by either helping students or changing the answers once exams were handed in.”
48 schools! 178 teachers and principals cheated?!! Teaches and principals with such character. What an example to the children. That’s how to get more money for your school. Cheat.
But every teacher from every single other school would never do that. Nope. Of course not. Never. Keep right on trusting the teachers.

“At Gideons Elementary, teachers sneaked tests off campus and held a weekend “changing party” at a teacher’s home in Douglas County to fix answers…”
“At Kennedy Middle, children who couldn’t read not only passed the state reading test, but scored at the highest level possible. At Perkerson Elementary, a student sat under a desk, then randomly filled in answers and still passed.”
“At East Lake Elementary, the principal and testing coordinator instructed teachers to arrange students’ seats so that the lower-performing children would receive easier versions of the Fifth Grade Writing Tests.”
