[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 agree - her system caused the cheating - but it doesn't mean she asked anyone to cheat-

This is old news- I can't believe NO ONE has mentioned FREAKENOMICS here- What do Sumo wrestlers and teachers have in common? _ When given the right incentive - they will cheat...[/quote]

It's a false premise and a complete cop-out to say her system "caused" the cheating.  Any teacher or school administrator that would cheat rather than try to do it right deserves to get bounced.  It shows a fundamental lack of ethics, and has no place whatsoever in the educational system.  And, that people are here shifting the blame right and left demonstrates clearly that there still is a fundamental ethical problem at DCPS.[/quote]
