Mom charged with changing kids’ grades

The following article was found on the net about a Pennsylvania Mom who changed her daughter's grades and lowered two classmates grades in order to increase the ranking of her daughter. It just goes to show the extent folks will go to in order to beef up their or their children's credentials.

HUNTINGDON, Pa. — A high school secretary illegally changed grades in a school computer system to improve her daughter's class standing, according to criminal charges filed Thursday.

Caroline Maria McNeal of Huntingdon is accused of using the passwords of three co-workers without their knowledge to tamper with dozens of grades and test scores between May 2006 and July 2007 at Huntingdon Area High School in central Pennsylvania, the state attorney general's office said.

McNeal, 39, is alleged to have improved her daughter Brittany's grades and reduced those of two classmates to enhance Brittany's standing in the 2008 graduating class.
