End result of too much educational pressure

Linky

I was reading the article above and came to think of what would drive teachers and administrators to have such a systematic cheating program. It occurs to me this happens when the corporate mentality and culture is forced into a social service. Because its a round peg in a square hole, the friction drives new ways to achieve. Sometime those new ways are great, and sometimes they suck.

When my kids are taking a state test I have thought about changing an answer here and there, but I don't because I don't feel threatened by a wrong answer. But what if I did? What if my job were on the line? Would I?

Slippery slope here folks. Prepare for more of this as the demand for achievement increases.

Spread the word.
