Answer :

answer:I read the article and my one line opinion is this: No wonder our children are growing up and are realizing that cheating is okay. Is the Federal Government directly responsible for the cheating, by holding out funds to school systems, that have students who do not excel? Or, was this a power struggle between teachers just in that one school? Allowing the teachers to resign or go on pension was not punishment. It was using the “good ol’ boy system”. You can beleive the students took notice of this. Today’s children are smart and intelligent and they learn by what they see and hear, especially in their classrooms.
