[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it was the cheating itself which triggered the heavy punishments -- it was the edivence of coersion and intimidation to comply with this conspiracy. She was charged under RICO statutes just like a mobster. That's the charge -- not violating the sanctity of standardized tests. There are some valid suspicions of DC test score merit during Rhee's tenure, but nothing directly implicating her in a conspiracy. As the superintendant she may have established the wrong incentives and disincentives for individual teachers and principals, implemented insufficient controls, and failed to adequeately investigate questionable results, but nothing to date suggests she orchestrated any direct and coordinated effort to manipulate test scores. I'm no Rhee fan or supporter. It wouldn't surprise me if evidence of malfeasance came to light, but I suspect there won't be any case against her however much some of her critics may delight in it.[/quote]
