Schools scramble to stop cheating scandals

Note the inadvertent honesty in the headline - stop the scandals, not the cheating.

“Note the inadvertent honesty in the headline - stop the scandals, not the cheating.”

First thing that struck me as well.

That said, this whole No Child Left Behind merit-based “improvement” construct is a scam of the first order. Kind of like the sham “graduation rates” of certain NCAA athletic programs(See Georgetown University ThugBall program),

The one student aspect that has the closest correlation with academic performance is a quality home life, with parentS (plural emphasis) actively involved.

Not money.

Not “good schools”.

Not class size.

Not “quality” teachers.

It probably should read “hide the scandals and cheating”.

'During today's in-service, we highly commend the breakout session titled "Detection-proof methods for increasing those scores".'
