This in no way justifies what was done, but chalk this up as just another reason it’s foolhardy to force the teachers to teach for a test, instead of teaching creatively for the sake of learning.
Bad as ‘No Child Left Behind’ was, Common Core is far worse.
The public school systems are festering cesspools of corrupt communist pestilence.
No child left behind was a stupid law from W and Teddy. Some kids SHOULD be left behind.
As for teachers giving answers, I doubt many of the teachers could have scored very high on the tests themselves. So how the hell would they know the answers?
