This video looks at the issue of cheating, in the DC school districts, on the standardized tests. When there was a sudden rise in test schools for the DC schools so an investigation began. The automatic test scoring computers notice a high rate in eraser marks. It is thought that adults had cheated and erased children's wrong answers and put in the right ones. This is very sad, the children are being cheated out of a fair education. The tests are to show how much the children are learning, by cheating like this the children will never get the help they need. Cheating also hurts the school, it may look like their test scores are getting high but the students in the school are not getting smarter, which will hurt the school reputation.
