No names will be given due to some legality I have signed. However at the school I worked with, 1st graders, they took three reading assessments this year to judge growth. Students took one the first part of the year, another before christmas, and now one as the school year is ending.
My students showed TOO MUCH GROWTH. I asked the principal, is this not what you want? Her response was it was too high. So they retested all of first grade. Guess what, my students scored HIGHER. So now they think I have the test and shit. Like I am making my students read the test only, and they are memorizing each passage. So they retested Friday with completely new readings they bought, and....THEY SCORED HIGHER. Finally she admitted I was just a good teacher, and thanked me for preparing nineteen 7 year olds for second grade properly.
School administration is almost stupid.

it's enough to make you chew your own foot off.
The cop thing made sense. If you're that smart, you're clearly better suited as a criminal mastermind, like some sort of mad scientist.
Sadly, this sort of thing doesn't surprise me at all anymore.
