DC Charter School involved in Widespread Cheating Scandal

[ClosedCaption]

Evidence of widespread cheating leads to probe at D.C. charter school | WashingtonExaminer.com

Cheating has been a problem in the city since shortly after the school system began using students' performance on standardized tests to determine whether teachers get raises, earn bonuses, or even keep their jobs.

Interesting huh?

hey If charter schools work why not remake the system so all schools teach like charter schools?

Not really, no. Especially since it's alleged with "strong circumstantial evidence" and the investigation is internalized to one district.

We can't do that. We need people like you to count us down from potato.

In other words the cheating that plagued the public schools bed wetters like you ignored and made excuses for now needs to be dragged out in public and condemned because it might have happened at a charter school?

Not too mention round up the shopping carts in the parking lots.

Meridian was one of 11 schools -- four charters and seven traditional public schools -- with "critical" test security violations and one of 16 with some type of violation or anomaly in the report OSSE released just over a week ago.

Did you have a point with this thread?

Considering it's a DC school employed with DC residents it doesn't surprise me at all. It's just like the morons that run the KC school district here. And its public.

The best thing about standardized tests are that they do not count for grades and students know this. Therefore, they do their best. Their very best.

If allegation are true, yes it is an issue... and it is wrong

But of course it was BETTER when teachers had no true performance evaluation based on result

We've had a huge issue here with widespread cheating in our public schools.

Same in NYC. The public schools are ripe with cheating and do not hire a professional auditor/consultant to come in and try to find corrections. The teachers union "conducts" that service themselves....while being accused of the cheating.

Interesting, huh?
