[quote=Anonymous]From my time in schools, teachers and especially administrators lie with alarming ease and frequency more so than other industries that I’ve worked in. I find that careful questioning, and letting the teacher talk more reveals whether she’s fibbing. I take it all in and then start asking questions around the areas where it seems she is lying. 9/10 she will fumble and contradict herself which leads me to ask OK so is A true or B and give more rope. 9/10 they back track on their story because they are flustered they got caught. The key is to remain calm, keep eye contact and not let go until she backs away from lying.

If it’s a policy based lie, the easiest way to stop it from s simply say “ I don’t believe that is correct, I’ll check with the district office.”,  Let me make sure 
I remember exactly what you said for the email. You said XYZ correct?  This leads to a. Claiming that is not what they said even if it s exactly what they said and changing their too or a stammered yes but I can make an exception for you blah blah.

While they lie frequently, they don’t lie well. [/quote]
