Apparently, exposing cheating is one of the few fire-able offenses a teacher can commit.

Teacher Claims He Was Fired For Exposing Cheating Scheme

A Michigan high school teacher says he was fired after he blew the whistle on the schools’ effort to help students cheat on the ACT standardized exam.

Scott Herlein, who was hired by the Fremont school district in 2005 to teach Spanish, French, psychology and math, claims that as he was supervising an exam in March when he noticed that students’ calculators contained information that had been previously downloaded, according to a complaint he filed July 31 in federal court, Courthouse News reports.

The pre-loaded materials were “ACT help files,” Herlein claims, which “included information that was related to the content of both the ‘Day 1 ACT mathematics assessment’ and the ‘Day 3 Michigan mathematics assessment.’”

Believing that the files violated the law, Herlein turned to the Michigan Department of Education. After receiving no response to his complaint, Herlein contacted the media — a move that spurred the agency into action.

The ensuing investigation found some merit in Herlein’s claim, according to his lawsuit.
