This 100%…years ago Louisiana teachers would get bonuses on how well their kids did on the state tests and then would help them cheat by giving them skittles or m&ms in which certain colors correlated with answers
We had a teacher who's students always got near perfect test scores in 4th and fell flat on their faces on the same tests in 5th. She was giving them answers, pretty sure. All she'd say was "I teach EXCELLENT test taking skills." 🙄 riiiight
Separate teaching and testing. The teacher should not be the person doing the testing. The testing and eval of the teachers should be done by a panel. This would help in getting rid of the fraud.

Came here to say this. It sounds like a great idea on paper, but dishonest teachers will always find a way to cheat - as history shows us.
A lot of teachers will put more effort into manipulating the test scores, than educating the students.

They're just going to teach the test. Like some do now.

Have to admire their creativity
