Atlanta school cheating trial focuses on Deerwood Academy

ATLANTA (AP) The Atlanta school cheating trial continued Monday with more testimony about Deerwood Academy, where many students struggled on state tests. <br /> <br /> Roxanne King testified Monday about her fifth-grade students at Deerwood, who she said were struggling. She testified that she didn't see cheating at Deerwood, and that she didn't cheat nor was she ever told to cheat. <br /> <br /> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that educator Tabitha Martin testified last week that it felt like staffers at low-performing schools had to participate in a ``walk of shame'' at a district-wide convocation. The earlier testimony indicated that schools that tested well were seated near the stage, but those that didn't fare well were consigned to the bleacher seats. <br /> <br /> A dozen educators are on trial after prosecutors alleged widespread cheating on state tests. <br />
