"Atlanta teachers caught in scandal told Channel 2 news ‘We begged for help'

Several Atlanta teachers who claimed they have been falsely accused of altering answers in school test cheating investigation said they went to an outside agency to complain about harassment to boost test scores but no substantive action was taken to address their concerns. "No one listened to us. We tried to tell. We couldn't trust anyone in the system," said teacher Sharona Thomas-Wilson. Wilson showed Channel 2’s Tom Regan emails her co-workers sent nearly two years ago to the Georgia Association of Educators, an organization that represents public school teachers" (AJC)

This is so disappointing as GAE and PAGE are our 2 "unions" - not really, but they are the watchdogs to protect the teachers and here GAE let things slide.

And here for more fall out.
