At another school, struggling students were seated next to higher-performing classmates so they could copy answers.<\/p>\n<p>Those and other confessions are contained in a new state report that reveals how far some Atlanta public schools went to raise test scores in the nation\u2019s largest-ever cheating scandal. Investigators concluded that nearly half the city\u2019s schools allowed the cheating to go unchecked for as long as a decade, beginning in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Administrators \u2014 pressured to maintain high scores under the federal No Child Left Behind law \u2014 punished or fired those who reported anything amiss and created a culture of \u201cfear, intimidation and retaliation,\u201d according to the report released earlier this month, two years after officials noticed a suspicious spike in some scores.<\/p>\n<p>The report names 178 teachers and principals, and 82 of those confessed. Tens of thousands of children at the 44 schools, most in the city\u2019s poorest neighborhoods, were allowed to advance to higher grades, even though they didn\u2019t know basic concepts.<\/p>\n<p>One teacher told investigators the district was \u201crun like the mob.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/178-teachers-principals-named-atlanta-schools-created-culture-of-cheating-fear\/\">http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/178-teachers-principals-named-atlanta-schools-created-culture-of-cheating-fear\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dorie Turner can be reached at http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/dorieturner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watchwoman: \u00a0The public government school system (PGS) is scary. \u00a0I am going to start sending you headlines I get in my inbox from local sources about the scandals and sex going on between teachers who seduce their students. \u00a0Well, it might actually be the other way around, teens are pretty gutsy because they have Hollyweird&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[453,137,1502,1430,454],"tags":[1654,1655],"class_list":["post-4525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-children-2","category-education","category-godlessness","category-news-2","category-young-people","tag-cheating-teachers","tag-public-school-corruption"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NEWS!

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
