For Teachers: Many ways to cheat on tests

There was a teacher assitant in 2008 helped her Olando fourth graders on the state achievment test. She supposably erased wrong answers and whispered corrections while she was helping non-native English speakers with difficult words. They say she even snapped her fingers in a code students understood to mean they should correct an answer. The assistant teacher told the students they would fail the fourth grade if they told anyone including their parents. At least one of the students told their parents and the school began to investigate. According to academic studies teachers cheat sometimes and so do principles. The concequences can be darastic. They say cheating can cost school districts thousands of dollars for makeup tests, set back the careers of gifted teachers and create confusion for schools and parents over a child's academic progress. I had no idea that this was an issue going on in America. I myself will never have a problem with that because I believe that a children will learn bad traits dishonesty as one. They are taking measure to ensure the truthfullness of how the tests are being taken now. I hope this situation gets resloved.
