Leave the cheating principals behind

In Chester, PA, a principal cheats, and the students turn her in:

Jayne Gibbs, a principal and administrator with the for-profit education company Edison Schools, was suspended Thursday after some eighth-graders reported that she had given them the correct answers to questions on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment test...

The alleged irregularities on the tests were reported by students at the Edward E. Parry Edison Junior Academy, according to the district's director of assessment, Wayne Emsley. "We were made aware of it by students," Emsley said. "I think that's to their credit. They were uncomfortable with some of the things they were asked to do and they brought it to a staff member's attention."
