School System Scandals

It was recently reported on the news that a local system was rocked by another scandal. This time it had to do with a high school in the school system in question's principal changing grades of over 130 freshman students. A teacher at that high school was a whistle blower and revealed it all to the media. As a result the teacher that blew the whistle on the school system is being forced to resign for not following proper protocol at the end of the current school year. And the principal of the high school got a simple "slap on the wrist". Ok here is my question why did the principal do it? What motivated him to change that many freshman's grades? But now to me it has been pretty much swept under the rug and we may never know how and why he did it? I feel sorry for the poor teacher who after this school year will probably NEVER be allowed to teach again because no one will probably hire him.

Last year the same school system was involved in another scandal this time it involved the CRT test or whatever they call it now. A couple of the teachers it was found out helped students cheat on this test. Like the other scandal mentioned my question is Why did they do it? So an investigation was done and about 4 teachers and a principal was forced to resign.

Stuff like this needs to be prevented. Did they do it to help their system get more federal money? I think they did it to prevent so many students from having to repeat a grade due to their lack of teaching ability or lack of the student's ability to comprehend the material. Alot of students are being allowed in to the next grade and either not be able to read at a proper grade level or they do not know math. This is what causes the students to become easily frustrated and want to drop out because they feel like no one cares about them. I agree that parents need to be more involved in their children's education, but they are not doing their part for different reasons. The main one being economic. Teachers are being stressed so alot of them now a days is letting alot of their students being "left behind".

And this is why we have such a screwed up society and too many students that do not know what a half dollar piece is or they can not do simple math or they think "twerk" or "selfie" are legitimate words in the English language.
