Atlanta Public School cheating scandal.

I am sure that most of you have heard about the tragedy that is known as the Atlanta Public School cheating scandal.  Teachers and principles changing answers, prompting children to choose a certain answer over another, and calling the kids "Dumb as hell."  Shocking, sad, and unacceptable!  Apparently, this has been going on for 10 years.

Jay Leno made fun of the situation on his late-night television show.  Here is a clip.  There is a short advertisement before the clip.

I am very saddened by the events taking place in the public school systems, even though my kids are lucky enough not to be part of it.  I wonder what the disconnect is.  These students are in school for over 6 hours a day 5 days a week for 180 days a year.  Why are they not learning enough to take the tests?  They are being let down by the people who are suppose to be helping them ensure a future for themselves.
