I am shocked!

>> Award-winning gains by Atlanta students were based on widespread cheating by 178 named teachers and principals, said Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Tuesday. His office released a report from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that names 178 teachers and principals – 82 of whom confessed – in what's likely the biggest cheating scandal in US history.

This appears to be the largest of dozens of major cheating scandals, unearthed across the country. The allegations point an ongoing problem for US education, which has developed an ever-increasing dependence on standardized tests.

The report on the Atlanta Public Schools, released Tuesday, indicates a "widespread" conspiracy by teachers, principals and administrators to fix answers on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), punish whistle-blowers, and hide improprieties. >>


Shocked! I tell you.


[-(

shocked? really? our politicians are blatently stealing from us and the country yet we stand idly by. (myself included)

Welcome to the Libertarian Party........we have been expecting you!

ah, if only you stood a chance. sadly the masses are more concerned with how many times they can text vote on american idol than voting for those in office.

My life is on Idle

just a little Outrage here...... 😟

Sounds more like and Auburn thing.....

[ 🌫 ] When I was a kid in school I didn't have many choices other than to study and WORK at getting good (or average) grades. I don't recall having other options like buddying up to the teacher to change my grades to A's and B's, or the option to have sex with a teacher in conjunction with or in lieu of better grades.[/ 🌫 ]


...if any organization can replace a person with selfless passion and love for a career with one that possesses none of those qualities, a union can.

It's a shame but I'm not surprised. The idiocy of "No Child Left Behind" is coming home to roost. Federal school funding is based on the test scores of ALL children. They have mentally handicapped children taking tests at the same grade level as their able minded peers. Teachers need to be able to TEACH. Not just study for a test. Kids are not being taught to think.......just pass tests in any way they can. If it involves cheating...so be it. This isn't a "Bush" problem....it's an American problem. The Obama administration has continued this nonsense. They need to get the "Experts" out of the schools and let the REAL experts do their job. Also...get rid of the teacher's unions. The cream will rise to the top and those teachers can and should be paid handsomely. The rest can go home.

Do teachers have to pass one of these kinds of tests every year..?? 😕




on another note I've worked at a major Hotel and seen the so called techer's conferences.... 😟

Does anyone go to a "conference" anymore for actual work training, or is it just another reason to take a trip and drink....and cheat on your spouse?

Those that can't do, teach.

Privatize Education.


eventually you will see the wisdom.....the pain just has to get more severe.

Ram has a bat.... [ram27bat]

Translation = “Privatize the profit – Socialize the debt.”

Government-run education is a God-given right.

Is that written on a sign at the camps..?? 😕

Nope. It is the state constitution.

🤔 🤔
so that's why they try to convert everyone to Christians...... 😟
