1. The sentencing on those teachers was ridiculous.

They were as much victims as the children. Forced into unethical acts by the economic threats held over their schools by idiotic education policy. Policy designed to punish those who need the most help, those whose students struggle more with poverty and lack of funding with even less funding.

The real people who 'hurt thousands of children' were those who pushed mandatory testing and linked it to school funding, teacher's jobs. Arne Duncan should be headed to jail instead of those teachers. They should simply have been allowed to teach, not forced to jump through stupid hoops or suffer.
