make them walk the plank
Presumably not a candidate for Freeper of the Year award, but even a broken (analog) clock is right twice a day, and this was the kind of investigative journalism that the First Amendment was designed to support.
The system was set up where the teachers, principals, and administrators were all evaluated based on student scores on standardized tests.
Personal performance, retention, raises, and bonuses were all based on those scores.
It did not take long for the teachers, principals, and administrators to determine that it was much easier to manipulate the test scores than to actually teach the students.
The real losers were the pawns in the game, the students.
Isn’t it strange that as soon as race enters into people committing crimes it’s labeled a witch hunt.
These teachers didn’t do it for the children, they did it for money.
I seriously doubt it. Not quite the royalty class like the Kennedys, or other high Government officials -- but Union teachers are pretty much untouchable in today's society (laws for thee and not for me)...
Government union employees involved in RICO crimes.
Wow, who didn’t see this coming?/sarcasm//
Eject the politicians and the unions out of education, and most of the corruption will vanish overnight.
Decertify the union as it was involved.
Ban every teacher, administrator and principal identified from working in schools for life.
Make it impossible for this type of cheating to occur again.
All pensions and retirement are forfeited.
They are never allowed to teach at any level including college, public or private, again.
Dang!
There goes NBC’s plan to make a heart warming, made for TV film. Focusing on an elementary school and its administrators.
Forced to conspire, cheat and drum answers into the skulls of generational, functionally illiterate children. To fight an oppressive society!!!
I hope they all rot in prison.
Teacher unions should be outlawed since they are technically government employees in the public schools.
Government employees should not be allowed to have unions.
