Schools for Scandal

School administrators and counselors changing students' grades without teachers' knowledge is one thing.  Falsifying social security numbers is another.

One the one hand the practice of changing grades is IMHO unethical.  If there is a case to be made for a grade change then the argument should be made to the teacher and let them have the final decision (or convene a tribunal that can hear cases under certain circumstances and make a final decision).

But submitting false SSNs to make one's life easier?  Reprehensible.
