I did not realize how many ways there are to cheat in every single thing in life.

Yeah. I know what you mean. The teacher was caught when students were blabbing about it. Another teacher got wind and tipped off the principal who started asking questions. Basically this person was ratted out by blabber mouth students and other teachers who played by the rules and were steaming over this. The teachers are no angels, but this forces them to use similar tactics to compete if not stopped. There is cut throat competition for teaching hours, which are being cut back for fiscal reasons. Student test scores are considered in whether a teacher gets full time hours or part time hours. Hence the motive to cheat.

In Los Angeles, teachers' and cops' hours are being cut to save money, but the city has money to train and hire "gang interventionists." This is the Twilight Zone.

What should also be mentioned is how low our schools and teachers have lowered the bar. As I've mentioned before, we have students in universities that can barely read and write. I was stunned when I saw the level of students I went to school with. Even the UCLA dorm where I lived had students with NO, and I really mean NO common sense. But the state universities are the worst.

What is happening to our service sector and quality of the businesses in this country and especially in California are direct results of our poor schools and this invasion. They both go hand and hand.
