America's biggest teacher and principal cheating scandal unfolds in Atlanta

Are you saying I'm lying? I clarified what I meant because I didn't communicate it clearly the first time. That's pretty low.


This is just too low. I'm going to keep this one private. Check your PM in a few minutes.

Where exactly did I use the word "lying"? Jumped defensive there.

Don't bother to PM me. Why would you consider a suggestion of your age to be a low blow? Again, jumped defensive there.

Then do you think I was a teacher or not?

And I'm not writing about the age comment.

I'd say you will have to ask them. Anything else is speculation.

I will speculate then, since my phone minutes for this month are nearly exhausted...

Teachers and administrators have not yet learned what the results of this are. A lot of their learning is down the road. Maybe they can be graded on a curve?

Students will learn from Mom and/or Dad a lesson in economics and fair play. Either the parents will call out this as cheating, or they will attempt to justify it, as you have done.

Taxpayers will be asked to shell out more money to cover these unexpected increases in school "operating" expenses; i.e. legal issues.

Everyone loses here.

Been fun for me to rub elbows with the Conservatives. Time for me to bow out.

If you were a teacher, you certainly did not make it a career. :lol: Your attitudes are diametrically opposed to public education.
 
You know, I think the standards are set too high for some students. Some students will NEVER be able to progress beyond 8th grade level. Their intellect is limited by their IQ.

Just sayin...

This is true. But if it is the result of a documented disability, they are exempted from testing.

Nope. Schools can't call for a levy just to cover legal expenses.

Right. But since we now know they will cheat on the NCLB stuff, what would prevent them from cheating on the financial stuff? :gossip:

So do you think I taught or not?

Are you asking me if I think you are an educator, then the answer is no. And since you were replying to my statement that you obviously were not an educator, one can safely assume that is what you are referring to.

So I lied?

Nice attempt at backpedaling. Too bad it doesn't work.
Obstruction of justice? Again, you really are out on a limb.:laugh2:

And your interpretation is so totally off the wall that it does not even deserve a response.:laugh2:

"the central office told some principals not to cooperate with investigators"

When someone interferes with an official investigation of a crime, that is an obstruction of justice.

In the case of the cheating teachers, I would say they are not.



It figures.

So, because test scores were fiddled with, these teachers failed to teach at any other possible junction?:shock: Now that is definately dichotomous thinking.
 
Reba said:
It is quite clear in this case. The teachers did wrong.

Well, to anyone who fails to see the grey areas in between the black and white, it is clear. Fortunately, real life does not play out that way. Only those who are quick to judge others fail to see the possibilities in between.
