Three things to remember;
1) Rewarding firefighters breeds arsonists,
2) The nightwatchman puts down what he pleases.
3) The benefits of ignorance accrue to the state.

You know, the really sad thing about this story is not that a School Principal cheated on her student’s scores, but that the parents of said students did not spot their children were not being taught to the level their scores said (or worse still, they noticed and did not care!). That a third party does not care if your children are properly taught, is bad; that you do not notice (or care) is depressing.

Across the country school officials cheat on the standardized exams used to assess student learning (and to determine district success and school official’s bonuses). Some states enable the school district cheaters so that the statewide scores will look better. MiShawna Moore just cheated more blatantly than others.
