Description

Pretend you were a teacher in the Atlanta school district during the time of the cheating scandal from this week's readings. You suspect that your fellow teachers are changing answers to increase their scores.

    • Should you look into changing the tests or investigating the unethical behavior of teachers in the Atlanta school district?
