[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any evidence that Rhee ever actually asked anyone to change test results?  And as for the "rewards", that goes to the "who knew what, and when" question.  From reading any of the articles, it's not clear that she would have known what was going on with the cheating scandal when the rewards were given.  Is there a concrete timeline that can establish it conclusively?[/quote]I'm a Rhee critic but I never would have said that she knew what was going on with the cheating.  [b]I don't think anyone has said that.[/b] But the fact that this was so widespread suggests that she didn't really understand what she was getting into when she started this testing program.  And her failure to be aggressive about an investigation once it became clear there were widespread problems suggests a real weakness as a manager.[/quote]

Not true.  Many posters on this thread, while not directly saying Rhee ordered them to do so, have nonetheless repeatedly not only made the insinuation and connection between her and the changing of test results, but her also rewarding them for doing so.

Further puzzling is that they are at the same time basically suggesting she is an evil mastermind who somehow orchestrated a grand conspiracy while at the same time are suggesting she was a bumbling fool.  Can't be both - take your pick.[/quote]For the record, I have always called her a bumbling fool and do not consider her an evil mastermind. [/quote]
