Atlanta Cheating Scandal Reverberates

I did not get to read the entire article because you needed a subscriptions. BUT the part that i did read I find it very offensive towards schools that are really working hard to improve there school levels. It takes a way from those schools and teachers that deserve the recognition and bonuses. It also makes them liars and thieves. They committed a crime against the states and rob other schools of there progress because now if a school really does improve to such an excellent rate it is going to raise suspicious and causes the state to double check and inspect the school. As for the teachers, principal, superintendent, and etc they broke their code of conduct and ethics code that they agreed to upon receiving their license. So they should face the charges that they are faced with, but on the flip side if the state did not put so much pressure on schools to get the scores up and offer awards to the teachers that are responsible I think that just maybe this could have been avoided.
