Republican-backed for-profit school caught deleting bad student grades
A for-profit school that was hyped by Republican lawmakers as a solution to Tennessee’s education problems recently admitted deleting bad grades to “more accurately recognize students’ current progress.”
A December email obtained by WTVF showed that Tennessee Virtual Academy’s vice principal instructed middle school teachers to delete “failing grades” from October and September.
“After … looking at so many failing grades, we need to make some changes before the holidays,” the email says, adding that each teacher needed to “take out the October and September progress [reports]; delete it so that all that is showing is November progress.”
“If you have given an assignment and most of your students failed that assignment, then you need to take that grade out.”

how can it be possible to reduce the cost of education, improve the quality of education and turn a profit? He said it's not possible. I replied, remember that the next time you go to the voting booth. 
Reminds me of a simpson episode:
[Sherry Bobbins: All right children, let’s clean up this room!]
[Bart: Aww, man!]
[Lisa: Do we have to?!]
[Sherry: Now, now, I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast]
Sherry Bobbins: If there’s a task that must be done, don’t turn your tail and run, don’t pout, don’t sob…Just do a half assed job!!!!!!!!!!!…
If you cut every corner, it really not so bad, everybody does, even Mom and dad. If nobody sees it, then nobody gets mad!
Bart: It’s the American way!

Sherry: The policemen on the beat, needs some time to rest his feet…
Police Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
Sherry: And the clerk who runs the store, can charge a little more, for meat
Apu: …For meat!
Sherry: And Milk…
Apu: And milk!
Sherry and Apu: From nineteen eighty-four!
Sherry: If…You…Cut every corner, you’ll have more time to play…
