Did your head just explode?So, the conservative mania for test scores has created the results the liberals predicted it would. No surprise there, the liberals being right again.
If you fire or promote teachers based on test scores, that encourages cheating on the test scores. The best cheaters will prosper. If you encourage cheating, you'll get more of it. It's a basic economics type thing, which is probably why the conservatives fail to understand it.
There's not one thing in this country that doesn't have the dirt under its nails from conservatives fucking with it...from voting, to immulization shots, to wars, to the banks failing, you name it, them folk has a finger in it.
When will the ass ho's get it....a hungry child, a displaced child, an abused child, neglected child....can't learn. Stop blaming Miss Michum, because Sha Na Na and Pam don't give a damn at home!!!!
He's the leader who issued the marching orders.* Michael Pitts, a former schools executive, was accused of telling teachers to cheat and then telling them not to talk to Georgia Bureau of Investigators who were looking into the scandal. He was ordered to serve seven years in prison, perform 2,000 hours of community service and pay a $25,000 fine.
Why did he get one of the longest sentences when all he did was advise them to cheat and didn't do any actual cheating himself? That is mighty strange.
Couldn't that be interpreted as freedom of speech?
Holy crap.....Are you really a thinking person?Because he hindered the investigation and told them not to talk to investigators. And telling others to commit crimes..that's why Charles Manson is in prison. He never actually killed anybody himself you know.* Michael Pitts, a former schools executive, was accused of telling teachers to cheat and then telling them not to talk to Georgia Bureau of Investigators who were looking into the scandal.

Don't say anything sounds like a common sense thing to say that could occur in a conversation, and telling someone to do something isn't necessarily serious.
It is common for people to tell others to not say anything when you are arrested.
Oh yes...Because we all know that throwing money at problems makes the problems go away.If there were only more tax revenue available for education this never would have happened.....lol
If you are going to judge using test scores
1). Teach only to the test, nothing else otherwise what is the point?
2). Give kids more than 1 opportunity to take the test.
Those who complain the most could never ever teach in a million years. They would shrivel up. Weak minded dolts they are. Inferior.
Hey genius....Conservatives are 100% opposed to testing
They're progressive criminals.
Is there any other kind?
Government schools turned over to unions to run is the problem. You want good teachers, good pay and results? Vouchers.What they did is wrong no doubt. That being said, there are no capable teachers out there that would work a god awful job like that for shut wages. Putting up with Americas ilk in an big city area and then being told to make sure they test well is purely set up to fail from the get go. If you want better teachers you had better step up and pay them to attract them there. Then we had better start kicking failure parents in the rear really hard too with big time fines for truancy, not turing in work, etch as parents share a big big part of the blame. If the parents knew hot to parent their kids wouldn't be so far behind. They want the schools to do everything. America is not, repeat no exceptional.
I ma no fan of anyone who supports that crap.Hey genius....Conservatives are 100% opposed to testing
Tell that to Jeb Bush, champion of Common Core.
You know, the guy you'll be asskissing once he becomes your party's nominee.
Only in America, can we sentence stupid teachers to 20 years for cheating and allow cops, who without video to gun down black men and lie, not spend one damned day in jail...This country will rule the day, they allowed their priorities to get this fucked up!!
Absolutely.I'm pretty sure his bonus was directly tied to their test results.Plus he's in a position of power...they were getting bonuses and stuff for cheating.Because it sounds like he was the instigator in getting the cheating going and then told them not to cooperate with the investigation.* Michael Pitts, a former schools executive, was accused of telling teachers to cheat and then telling them not to talk to Georgia Bureau of Investigators who were looking into the scandal.

The sad part is the Atlanta School District offered a bonus for meeting minimum requirements.
In the real world, a bonus is a reward for exemplary performace
Yes, because a policy meant to improve the education of our youth is a good reason to commit felonies that result in those children receiving no education at all.Absolutely.I'm pretty sure his bonus was directly tied to their test results.Plus he's in a position of power...they were getting bonuses and stuff for cheating.Because it sounds like he was the instigator in getting the cheating going and then told them not to cooperate with the investigation.Why did he get one of the longest sentences when all he did was advise them to cheat and didn't do any actual cheating himself?

Since they were tried in State court Obama and Holder couldn't refuse to prosecute them. I do hate teachers that short change their students to get a lot of money. Do you?
