The #1 state that the GOP should investigate is Wisconsin due to it being ground zero this winter for union protesters whining about having to pay their fair share of their health care coverage and retirement benefits.
It wouldn't surprise me if the teachers in Wisconsin cheat on student tests so that they can deflect how bad their teaching really is.
This is why limiting collective bargaining is so important.
To keep the teachers honest, we need to turn over every stone and investigate whether or not they are truly educating our children.
After all, it's all about the kids, right?
To keep teachers honest, we need to END single payer education. It has never worked, doesn't (obviously) work, and will NEVER work.
A representative of the state should be present at all testing done for NCLB. Then the tests should be removed immediately and be graded by the state.
The schools can not be trusted to be honest about this kind of thing since they have so much at stake.
o no not in jersey. inconceiveable.
Our school district offers two advanced courses in 8th grade that are offered to students that maintain a 92 or above average the previously year in those subjects. I started to notice that certain kids would end up with exactly a 92 and there would always be 17 of them. Not one more or one less. I started thinking somewhere in the teachers contract there is a clause for 17 students only, and the teacher also teaches the students the year before that get picked for these classes, so they can inflate a favorite students grade, decrease some one elses. It has nothing to do with ability or offering a student a challenging course. My daughter, of course, ended up with a 90 in both courses, even though she was not allowed to see her final exams which were exactly what brought her grade down to a 90. Report cards arrived in the mail, and if you try to call the school, they say they’ll give the message to the teacher but they are on vacation. Only secretaries are there now. Absolute BS.
They arrested these cheaters...will they arrest these union teachers?

Big deal....Everybody does it.
If We the People are smart about all this cheating going on nation-wide..its a real opportunity to crowbar the NEA out of the public school system.
Wait till Chris Christie gets his hands on that lot.
