Survey: Nearly 30% of Michigan teachers report pressure to cheat

The Detroit Free Press reports:

One out of three public school educators report pressure from bosses, parents or others to change grades, and nearly 30% say pressure to cheat on standardized tests is a problem at their school, according to a voluntary Free Press survey of Michigan educators.

At schools that don't meet federal standards, the tension is higher: About 50% say pressure to change grades is an issue, and 46% say pressure to cheat on the tests is a problem.

The ethics of public education! Just a reminder out there for you rookies: you could be prosecuted for mail and wire fraud.
