School: Teacher Helps Students Cheat Because She Says They’re ‘Dumb As Hell’
CBS Atlanta ^ | August 28, 2012 | CBS Atlanta

Posted on 08/28/2012 12:41:52 PM PDT by Robwin

A former fifth-grade teacher implicated in a cheating scandal reportedly gave students the illegal assistance because she thought they were “dumb as hell.”...

Schajuan Jones, who taught a fourth-grade class across the hall from Smith’s former room, overheard her talking to another teacher about the test.

“The words were, ‘I had to give your kids, or your students, the answers because they’re dumb as hell,’” Jones was quoted as saying about the interaction between Smith and the unidentified third teacher.

But mainly because in their “culture”, reading is a “white thing”, and isn’t considered “keepin’ it real.”

Oh, please tell me you are kidding because if not that is about the saddest thing I've ever heard. I cannot begin to understand anyone with such a mindset. Please tell me that this is not a popular frame of mind of inner city culture.

OK, we won't tell you. But from everything I've been reading, "acting white" academically will not make you popular in the inner city.

Shayla Smith, in this picture, was fired for giving the kids answers because they were “dumb as hell”. I think a good private school should give her a look. If she can speak English and pass a 4th grade math test, hire her!

What’s the problem? She’s just doing her job.

Makes sense, don't it? The smart kids didn't get those grades themselves.

Given the problems they have in Atlanta gubmint skoolz, while insulting, it may have been true.

I thought it was racist to tell the truth.

Aren't we all still required to pretend?

Because the over paid, under performing, under educated, government union flunkie would be out of a job?

I'd say it's more of a classist thing than a skin color thing. White people in America and England do it too. It's like the bucket of crabs pulling each back in to their doom when one tries to escape.

The slacker mentality doesn't like to see neighborhood/classmate chums succeed and leave the old crew behind. So they intimidate, insult, taunt, bull, and shame those who try to better themselves.

A former fifth-grade teacher implicated in a cheating scandal reportedly gave students the illegal assistance **CRIMINALLY** DEFRAUDED THE CHILD, THE PARENTS, THE TAXPAYERS, AND THE GOVERNMENT AND COMMITTED **MALPRACTICE**> because she thought they were “dumb as hell.”...

There fixed that!

Where are the prosecuting attorneys and class action malpractice attorneys when the child, the parents, and taxpayers need them?

So?....What would happen to any other professional in any other profession who falsified tests, government reports, and misused state money? Answer: Prosecution, loss of their professional license, and BIG FAT **PERSONAL** MALPRACTICE SUIT.

Teachers constantly whine about being considered professionals. Well?...Isn't time that prosecutors, licensing boards, and malpractice attorneys treated them the same way other professionals are treated?

You were right to get out of the teaching “profession”. The teachers and principals before you criminally submitted FALSE reports to the child, parents, and government.

So?...What would happen to any other professional who lied to a client/patient, misuse of tax dollars, and submitted false reports to the government?

Answer: Criminal prosecution, loss of license, and a big fat MALPRACRTICE suit.

You were the REAL teachers. You were likely doing **everything** my husband and I did with out homeschoolers. The school was merely sending home a very expensive curriculum. YOU and YOUR CHILD did the really hard work IN THE HOME!

Congratulations for being the **real** teachers of your child.

It is called “afterschooling”.

Our family homestead in Western NY has collected “stuff” since it was built in 1830. There are books there from the mid-1800s, some of which are school textbooks. My husband, a Physicist, is shocked at the sixth grade math books. What sixth graders then were required to know is material not found in high school at all. Ditto for grammar and literature.

The overall dumbing down of America’s kids is going to help Obama and his ilk to create a dependent socialist society. Very sad.

I saw a kid interviewed on TV named Craiyon Washington. I guess she was the brown one.

Simon Newcombe’s father was an itinerant teacher in Nova Scotia in the 19th Century. Newcombe was resentful that his father would not teach him mathematics, especially algebra. Newcombe went on become the director of the US Naval Observatory, and probably the most famous scientist in America. Later in life, he received a letter from his father showing that he did not know how to solve two simultaneous linear equations.

The textbooks may have been challenging, the teachers were not always up to the challenge. I wouldn’t overly romanticize the good old days. I graduated from high school in 1968, the year that SAT peaked (and I had high SAT scores) but, in retrospect, I believe that I had only one even competent high school mathematics teacher.
