1 in 5 Chicago Public High School teachers say they felt pressure to change grades last school year

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Nearly a third of Chicago public high school teachers say they were pressured to change grades this past school year.

One in five report they actually raised a grade under such prodding.

And dozens of teachers -- elementary and high school alike -- say they believe someone changed their grades last year without their approval.

Those are the results of an unprecedented survey of more than 1,200 Chicago Teachers Union members conducted by the CTU and the Chicago Sun-Times in June and July.

The findings raise serious questions about whether some of the data used to judge Chicago public schools has been inflated, artificially manipulated -- or in some cases outright altered.

Who was in control of the Chicago Public School system before January of this year: none other than Arne Duncan. Here's another Obama corruption scandal in the making. What did Arne Duncan know and when did he know it? Changing grades might be called "mail and wire fraud" over at the U.S. Attorney's Office. Anyway, as you can see, everything about Chicago is corrupt. The school system appears to be no better than the Water Department.
