Is Schools Learning Kids Good?
You can't make this stuff up, folks. Wayne Brightly, a Bronx public school teacher who repeatedly flunked his state certification test finally passed it. The problem is, he hired someone else to take the test for him in order to pass. Brightly hired Rubin Leitner, a formerly homeless and developmentally disabled man to take the test for him. Pay for the job? Two bucks. Leitner suffers from Aspberger's Syndrome, and is apparently brighter than Brightly. They also look a bit different. Leitner weighs more, wears glasses, and is white. Brightly is black. Apparently, Brightly didn't think anyone would notice. They did, and he's been charged with coercion, falsifying business records and other crimes. He's also out of the classroom. Hat tip to Interested Participant.
