After watching this video we are left with the question, is standardized testing leading DC schools to some really unethical behaviors? I believe that it's possible for the staff at those schools to fix grades to pass their measurement of adequate yearly progress. I get that the schools are afraid of failing on their assessments, but to go about it this way is very unfortunate. I believe that all the staff at this school needs to be dismissed, because this is unacceptable behavior. Instead of worrying about making sure the students have the tools they needed to pass the tests, they took it upon themselves to fix test scores.
