More educators caught cheating

Ridiculous.
First of all, its a sad state of affairs when you announce the fact that there will be "serious" consequences for persons involved in cheating in the public schools. Serious is a wholly inappropriate word, it should be "will be fired"... whether they were ordered to by their superiors (teachers or principals/adminstrative staff) or because they were worried about losing their jobs. They must all be fired and criminally charged. Public employees who commit fraud can not be tolerated and can not be allowed to simply go to work at another school... especially when they are working with our children.
Second of all, the noble teacher myth is finally unravelling. The "poor teacher" campaign has defined at least the past 2 decades. You all know the story, poor teachers, they don't make anything they have to work long hours etc etc etc, we need to give them more money... Except it was all bullshit as every teacher you know will retire better than 90% of the people in the private sector. And then those poor teachers are now issuing death threats against politicians, protesting at special olympic ceremonies and in general acting like spoiled brats who were entitled to another piece of cake. Nope public employees, educators are not some sort of noble self sacrificing saint, they're regular joes who lie and cheat and think they're better than everyone else just like the scum bags on wallstreet.
