You know, sometimes you know in the back of your head that something is true, but, you just kind of ignore it because it seems too ridiculous. Well, the state of California and LAUSD have shown that truth is sometimes more insane that fiction. 

In the LA Times an article ran...
L.A. Unified set to renew charter contract despite evidence of cheating
The director of Crescendo charters, which operates six campuses south of downtown L.A., directed principals and teachers to let students study the actual exam questions on important standardized tests.

I "knew it" but to have the reality confirmed is stunning. What is stunning is not that some fool "executive director" had principals (who should know better) tell their teachers to cheat. Having worked for "the district" I, sadly, am not at all surprised by this since I have experienced the process by which they select their leaders.  What is even more appalling is that the state and LAUSD are willing to renew the charter on a slap of the hand and ethics training!

John Allen the ethically challenged "executive director" who order the principals to order their teachers to cheat is still making over $160,000.00 a year! The principals were suspended for 10 days. What about the brainless surgeons who run the state and LAUSD? Shouldn't they be punished for allowing these clowns to continue?
