      <![CDATA[One would hope that a teacher who failed the biology certification 11 times would not, in fact, be a biology teacher, but rather some other kind of teacher trying to qualify to teach biology (like a coach, as David said in the second comment). The possibility that this was a biology teacher failing the tests was the entire point of my first post, which apparently passed completely over your head.

      <![CDATA[I'm always amazed at the leaps racists will take to justify their "thinking." We know Mumford was black; we don't know the race of either of the people taking the tests for others, though Shantelle is likely a black person.

      <![CDATA["Mumford eventually approached Shaw and asked her to take a biology certification examination on behalf of a teacher who had failed the test eleven times and was in danger of losing her job."<br>
<br>
Inferred is that her job required a biology certification, which implies that she was a biology teacher.

      <![CDATA[I am not surprised that "Not Surprised" blames this scandal on "affirmative action" instead of the obvious reason...lazy dimwits cheating because they could get away with it, at the time. For individuals like "Not Surprised", you see a black face associated with a teacher cheating scandal, it's a systemic problem...see a white face associated with a teacher cheating scandal and it's a few rogue teachers.

      <![CDATA[This is the result of "affirmative action;" unqualified people being put to the front of the line. If they are assisted by the "affirmative action" system to cheat to get into the teaching profession, why should we be surprised to find them cheating to stay in the profession.<br>
<br>
Folks, if you listen to many of the "teachers" who have been given charge of your children, you will find that their diction and grammar is attrocious.
