I never had such generous teachers!

In one of the biggest cheating scandals of its kind in the U.S., 11 former Atlanta public school educators were convicted Wednesday of racketeering for their role in a scheme to inflate students' scores on standardized exams.

The defendants - including teachers, a principal and other administrators - were accused of falsifying test results to collect bonuses or keep their jobs in the 50,000-student Atlanta school system.

The educators fed answers to students or erased and changed the answers on tests after they were turned in to secure promotions or up to $5,000 each in bonuses, the court was told.

Me neither. Likely because when we were testing, we were responsible for our grades, not our teachers.

Likely, your teachers didn't get a bonus based on your test scores. Thanks, NCLB and Race to the Top!

Do you really think THIS will stop them voting? The election commissioner will probably send them absentee ballots in prison. As long as they vote the right way, of course...

I bet they were all members in good standing of the teacher's union.
What a crappy union if they couldn't get them off of charges.
They need some of that Rev Al protection.
He can be millions in debt to the IRS and still get red carpet treatment at the owebuma White House.
