I don't think there's anything good about this story, but I would like to ask my School and Society students these questions: (1) Do you think teachers should have to pass certification exams? If so, what should the test cover? (2) Should teachers be subjected to ongoing testing throughout their career? (3) If you were a parent of a child who had been taught by a teacher who cheated on their exam, what recourse would you take?
