“APS is run like the mob,” one teacher told investigators, saying she cheated because she feared retaliation if she didn’t.

Mayor: "Today is a dark day for the Atlanta Public School system. The State of Georgia’s investigation into allegations of widespread cheating on the CRCT test confirms our worst fears. There is no doubt that systemic cheating occurred on a widespread basis in the school system."

Our school system sucks and basing school performance on students test scores gives the obvious incentive for teachers and school officials to cheat. This is not NEW news.

Here is a nice OFN for you.

Burn the entire system to the ground and build a new method because the kids we are churning out are fucking stupid.

Schools sucking is old news; but systemic cheating amongst those opposed to education reform is not. This scandal was broken July 5-6th.

This what you get when the wolves guard the chicken coop. Maybe if you didn't have Nancy Pelosi and the likes teaching our children; we wouldn't be bringing up f'ing morons.

Nah this has been going on for a long time all over the place. No child left behind just made it worse. Not really news. Not sure how pelosi is to blame for shitty schools that seems a rather random person to blame. Could you elaborate?

Anyone with half a brain gets the reference.

Please enlighten us, o large brained libertarian

They talked about teachers cheating in Freakonomics, this problem is old news. This scandal is new news of course.

Also fuck our current education system, fuck it right in its stupid fucking ass.

Year round schools please.

yeah I was about to say, didn't I read about this in Freakonomics?

"Please enlighten us, o large brained libertarian"

Well first off; phrenology is a pseudoscience; so you probably shouldn't put much stock in that.

Second; "Nancy Pelosi and the like" is a reference to government. Aka the government is running the schools. Cmon guys; keep up.
