Some Fairfax County teachers said they plan to resort to “cheating” to perform well on new evaluations introduced this fall that link their ratings to student achievement, according to a survey by the teachers union.
“Honestly, I feel as though [Fairfax County Public Schools] is putting me in a difficult position — my job is on the line so what do I need to do to make my students perform well. Guess what, this is GOING to lead to some staff cheating and/or cutting corners,” one teacher commented on the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers survey, which more than 450 teachers responded to in October.
