Remember when 'fixing' school grades was illegal??

Not any more apparently! A middle school principal decided that her school didn't raise enough money last year selling chocolate bars --- so this year....... she is selling extra points on test scores. Here is their price list:

Rosewood Middle School price list

A $20 donation buys 10-point credits to be used on two tests of the student's choice.

A $30 donation buys the test points and admission to a 5th-period dance.

A $60 donation buys students test points, the dance invitation, and a "special 30-minute lunch period with pizza, drink and the choice to invite one friend to join them."

Photo ops with Rosewood principal Susie Shepherd, the vice principal, and a home room teacher go for $75. The photos will be posted on a school bulletin board and on the school's Web site.

Of course, this is the same Goldsboro, NC school that counted 25% of a Social Studies grade against the students bringing in kleenex and hand sanitizer................ For the rest of the story, go to:
