[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is more plausible that any cheating that took place in DC, took place without Rhee's knowledge .I fault the cheaters and [b]not[/b] Rhee. I also think Rhee had only just begun reform in DC. It will take years and years to undo the mess of DCPS. She made a good start despite push back with her every move.[/quote]

I worked in the system then.  Keep believing the above and I think that you will believe anything.  We knew the cheating was going, but were not allowed to do anything about it.[/quote]

I recall many allusions to knowledge or suspicions of cheating, but no means to actually make accusations.  You'd have to be a fool, not a hero, to make a statement you couldn't prove with first-hand information.

At that point in DCPS history, to say that you didn't think certain kids at certain schools could have possibly improved so much in a year's time was to acknowledge  you were a racist loser who thought that "poor black kids can't learn."

So many people in power were ready to believe in a miracle instead of obvious cheating.  Why was that?[/quote]
