[quote=Anonymous]Yes. The information that points to widespread cheating during Michelle Rhee's time in DC has been known and public for a long time. Rhee and her staff knew it and continued merrily along awarding cash to cheaters, firing many who did not cheat, touting the success of their ideas and ignoring that there were actual children behind those test scores who needed help.

Anyone paying attention has known since the USA Today article that there was most likely widespread cheating. But we had to sit their bogus investigations and watch good teachers deemed failing due to the inflated scores of their students because NO ONE IN THE CITY WANTED THE TRUTH TO COME OUT. Not the school system, not the Mayor, not the City Council, not the Washington Post, not Arne Duncan or Obama ( busy with Race to the Top initiatives ) and not the rich bigwigs who donated to the cash bonuses for increased test scores. And definitely not the test designers and curriculum companies. And check out OSSE head Hosana Mahaley's corporate connections.

This cheating is not new news. It is simply news that no one in power wanted pursued.  Thank goodness for Jay Matthews and John Merrow and other journalists who keep on the story. [/quote]
