Atlanta Cheating Scandal Reverberates #18

This article is interesting to me. Although, I was not surprised that someone has actually gotten caught. I think for years many people have taken advantage and for granted the fact that people just don't usually cheat. I think it is sad that it affected so many teachers the way it has especially those who were trying to uncover the truth, but were in fear for their jobs or other things. I also feel bad that now large improvements made in any schools (especially these) will be heavily investigated. It also may make some teachers or counties nervous to have such large, or even minor, improvements in their scores. This is a shame, because schools should be able to be proud of their achievements not scared to have them. I just can't believe there were so many educators on board with cheating. I would think real educators whose hearts are in it, would want the students to succeed on their own. I just think the whole article is very strange.
