Patch Asks: Brookhaven Parents Frown Upon CRCT Cheating

This week, Patch focuses on local parents, asking for their take on the CRCT cheating scandal that has shaken the Atlanta public school system.

The Atlanta public school Criterion-Referenced Competency Test cheating scandal is inspiring intense debate and criticism of the education system among Atlanta residents and families. Many parents are questioning the sense of a system that puts so much pressure on teachers to produce high scores in order to keep their jobs and be promoted. Locals are calling for better ways to keep cheating practices like changing test scores in check. Despite the pressure, the consensus appears to be that the teachers, principals, and superintendents involved are each directly responsible for their participation in the scandal. Check out the Brookhaven parents who gave their take on CRCT cheating on this week's Patch Asks.
