In numerous U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Philadelphia and Washington, accusations and findings of test cheating being condoned and organized by teachers to make their schools look better …. The crooked test scores also justifies the gargantuan salaries, benefits and pensions these corrupt people suckup.
That includes all that they can steal.
Dr Beverly Hall is now under scrutiny in Atlanta for rampant, systematic cheating on test scores involved 44 Atlanta schools and 178 teachers and principals.
Hall absconded to Atlanta after the Newark, NJ school district she headed had a $73 million shortage.
Here’s Dr Beverly Hall showing off her medal----named 2009 Superintendent of the Year award by the American Association of School Administrators for "increasing Atlanta district's test scores and graduation rates."
Beverly Hall is a bigtime calculated liar and con artist......a walking crime wave.
One observer said that, for public consumption, Hall puts on a sweet, sap-happy "Grandma’s Baking Sugar Cookies" act..............but behind the scenes she’s a ruthless, savage hag, dropping victims left and right like an armed fascist dictator.
You have to wonder how Hall ever got educator credentials. Is her doctorate legit? All of her CV should be rigorously scrutinized.
Her activities in the state of NJ (before she went to GA) need to be exposed.....and prosecuted when warranted.....including the $73 million budget shortfall under her watch.
WASH/PO EXCERPT “Damany Lewis was the first Atlanta teacher to assist Atlanta Principal Waller in cheating. He admitted to cheating in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2006, Waller asked Lewis, ‘Do you think you could get into something undetected?’ Lewis was not sure what Waller meant, but said yes.
A few days later, Lewis was summoned to the main office where he found Atlanta Principal Waller and [Success for All Facilitator] Sandra Ward with the CRCT booklets. Principal Waller looked at Lewis and then immediately looked at the test booklets. Lewis then knew what Atlanta Principal Waller was asking him to ‘get into undetected’ — the test booklets. Lewis found a key in his desk drawer that opened the room where the tests were kept.
Lewis used a razor blade to open the plastic wrapping around the test booklets, copied the test for each grade, and resealed the wrapping using a lighter to melt the plastic. Once Lewis copied the booklets, he placed a copy of the social studies test in [Atlanta teacher] Damien Northern’s car and a copy of the reading and language arts test in [Atlanta teacher] Dorothea Wilson’s car.’
Back when this story broke in Atlanta I said at the time that NJ had the same nonsense going on; I don’t doubt that we have high school graduates who have ever written a complete sentence. Years ago a friend of mine was held back twice in seventh grade, and when it was clear he would fail the third time he was literally jumped to high school. Because he was so old, they determined it was for the best; he never went to eighth grade.
