This week in Atlanta numerous teachers, administrators and superintendents were revealed to have changed students scores on standardized tests. The report indicated this unprofessional practice is widespread across America and not localized to any particular geographic region. Too many educators have only two goals in their careers. The first goal is to reach tenure with a school district. Then the union can give them protection through job security. The only other goal for too many educators is retirement. Educators submit to cheating and sub-par practices to make their student and the district meet and better achievements and set statistical data. The powers overseeing the school district often narrow their look at data, not the individual student’s comprehension of said subject material. “Students aren't knowledgeable, and are probably lazy and procrastinate, so they cheat. These are crimes based on a lack of knowledge. It's a terrible character trait to develop” Quote by Fran Cohen. As my book is about character traits I fully agree with the words of Fran Cohen. The educator is deficient and lazy while not doing their job and knowledge so the student performance is acceptable. Educators should not only do what is expected, they must do what is correct. Let me conclude this entry with a description of the school district the educators have made through cheating. Sri Guru Granth Sahib wrote, “ Cheating is eating a rotting carcass.”
