Ex-Schools Chief in Atlanta Is Indicted in Testing Scandal; New York Times, 3/29/13
Michael Winerip, New York Times; Ex-Schools Chief in Atlanta Is Indicted in Testing Scandal:
"It is not just an Atlanta problem. Cheating has grown at school districts around the country as standardized testing has become a primary means of evaluating teachers, principals and schools. In El Paso, a superintendent went to prison recently after removing low-performing children from classes to improve the district’s test scores. In Ohio, state officials are investigating whether several urban districts intentionally listed low-performing students as having withdrawn even though they were still in school.
But no state has come close to Georgia in appropriating the resources needed to root it out."
