Teacher: another teacher helped students cheat because they were | www.ajc.com

Monday, August 27, 2012.

Atlanta math teacher Shayla Smith allegedly thought students were so "dumb" that they needed her help during testing.

The former 5th-grade teacher at southwest Atlanta's Dobbs Elementary School denied it, but a tribunal apparently believed that allegation and others and recommended her termination Monday.

Smith was among about 180 Atlanta Public Schools educators accused of cheating after a state investigation triggered by reports in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Data on test erasures likely undermined Smith. The testimony of a student who claimed to witness her cheating and of a fellow teacher who said she overheard Smith admit to cheating couldn't have helped her either.

The teacher, Schajuan Jones, taught 4th grade across the hall from Smith, and said she overheared Smith talking in the hallway with a teacher whose students she had overseen during testing.

"The words were, 'I had to give your kids, or your students, the answers because they're dumb as hell,'" Jones said.

Why the hell don't they quit testing and start teaching?

Schools are corrupt little fiefdoms, ruled by an elite oligarchy who's sole purpose is to perpetuate a nepotiistic favoritist clique. Long since broken and fallen from the world's favor, our "education" system is frought with fraud.

Screw the motherfuckers.

How can you know if they are teaching if they kids arent tested?

Obviously this teacher wasn't teaching if she resorted to giving the students the answers.

Yes, testing in necessary to determine if the students have mastered the content for each grade.

Testing evaluates both the students and the teacher. If school administrators had any interest in using, and knowledge about how to use, student tests to evaluate teachers, bad teachers could be rapidly weeded out.

Techniques exist to do so.

Huh?? How you gonna know if the kids are learning if you don't test them.?

Anyway, teachers helping kids cheat has been a problem for years. We need to have some independent company come in and test the kids like with the SAT test. Of course, that costs money.

Wrong. Ever hear of teacher's unions? It's murder to fire one of these clowns.
