RON GEORGE CALLS FOR HEARINGS INTO THE NATIONAL EDUCATION RANKING SCANDAL

Annapolis, Md. – Ron George, the ranking Republican on the Education Subcommittee in the House Ways and Means committee and candidate for Governor, has released the following statement regarding the reading test cheating scandal.

“It has been uncovered that the O’Malley/Brown administration has been intentionally excluding a majority of learning-disabled and English learning students from national standardized testing in order to cheat their way to a #1 public education ranking. I am demanding answers about who in the administration was involved in this cheating scandal, what exactly they knew and when they knew it. I am calling on the leaders in the General Assembly to convene hearings to get to the bottom of this matter.

“The Democratic leadership wanted so badly to legitimize their huge Thornton tax increases that they cheated their way to the top. We tell our students cheating is wrong and hold them accountable when they make a mistake. What message are we sending them now when corrupt politicians abuse the education system to advance their own political agendas?”

Tons of money spent. Many kids still don't learn or behave. Test scores have to be fudged or public will realize how badly things are going. Sad part is all money is spent on at risk while rest of kids get nothing spent on them in school. For what?
