The school board fired a Forest Hill High teacher Wednesday after an investigation concluded he changed more than 18,000 grades within the district’s online learning programs over the span of two years.
The school’s former principal, Mary Stratos, said she alerted investigators and transferred teacher Randy Whidden from supervising classes with access to the online programs as soon as the allegations landed on her desk in 2018.
In the 21st century,they are just participation trophies....
It seems like our public school system is not much better than a diploma mill.
I’d advise anyone to be very very careful when hiring young people fresh out of schools these days. They risk hiring a worthless piece of crap that will try to find a way to sue them out of everything they have, and destroy their business in the process.
A corollary to that rule:
The only job reference you can believe is a bad one.

Changed them how - so they would Pass ?
I thought most public schools pretty much rubberstamp pass grades anyway.
-
Upping High School grade averages ??
Giving a little extra affirmative action there ?
I though so many did that already too.

Yes he was rubber stamping kids who were taking classes because they had failed other classes
Remarkable that a teacher was actually fired. Too many bad teachers who should be fired work all the way to retirement under union protection.
Public school teachers union is the worst of the worst.
He already was teaching elsewhere.
That’s how they increase the reported graduation rates of certain non-Whites
trust me
they are also graduating whites that are functionally illiterate
the dumbing down of America
they are also graduating whites that are functionally illiterate
If they merely mined the book for answers, they could get C’s from me. By the end of 8th grade, most were actually reading the text and getting A’s and B’s. For most, their grades actually went up when they got to high school because they were doing what most of their classmates weren’t.
I still sub at the school I taught at and the teachers say that most of their students still aren’t actually reading the books.
And I can tell you that not only too many functionlly illiterate, they are innumerate as well. I’ve had 8th graders pull out a calculator to solve 8 x 4.
I entered First Grade in 1958 and was taught using the Dick and Jane books.
When I was seven years old my father bought a set of encyclopedias and a wonderful set of hard-bound children’s books. I spent many enjoyable hours with both which no doubt improved my reading skills. I’ve loved reading ever since.
I don’t think many post-boomers today have had an experience similar to mine, and that’s a shame.
where’s his pic?......why do I suspect he had an agenda....
