Atlanta Adult Entertainment: Atlanta Starts New School Year Under Cloud of Cheating Scandal

But at Parks Middle School, they took cheating to a whole other level. Before the state exam, investigators wrote, Parks Principal Christopher Waller would give teacher Damany Lewis the key to the room where the tests were kept. Then the teacher — quote — “used a razor blade to open the plastic wrapping around the test booklets,” copied the tests for each grade and resealed the wrapping using a lighter to melt the plastic.
And after students had finished testing, Principal Waller told teachers it was — quote — “time to go,” meaning go to the room where the tests were kept and change the answers. In all, 12 teachers and the principal at Parks were implicated. Seven confessed to cheating.
Chandra’s daughter’s teacher was among them.
CHANDRA GALLASHAW: I was really mad. See, these children take a test before they get in those schools. You know what it’s called? It’s called the streets out there. It’s called the drug dealers they have to walk past, the prostitution they have to walk past, the gangs they have to walk past. They take a test before they even get in them doors.
