It really bugs me when I hear 'strange' news of weird stuff happening in our schools today. I'm a mother of a 10 year old child and my family pay education taxes so I guess that qualifies me to state an opinion. Remember that news about schools getting graded for performance? Schools that were considered good got the lowest grades and the lowest performing schools got A's and B's. Does anyone wonder how that could be possible? Does anyone really think these grades reflect the truth? It seems to me that there is a lot of cheating going on. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that these low performing schools are doing something unethical to beat the system and their respective administrators get to look good and keep their jobs. WHY AREN'T THE AUTHORITIES LOOKING INTO WHAT SCHOOLS ARE DOING WITH THE STATE TEST.
I would like to about your experiences about stuff that don't make sense in schools you have worked. If anyone in your school asked you to open your state test before the date of the test so you can feed the answer to your students, this is your chance to get it off your chest. Are they shamelessly inflating grades to students who can't read, low performing in general, sleep all day in class.... These teachers are making it harder for other teachers who really care but have the impossible task to have to compete with them, because students see what's going on and why would they do work if they can get a free grade after all. I would also like to know what the administration is doing to get after these principals who are getting away with this sort of unethical behavior.
