This reminds me a little of those stupid criminal stories you hear and wonder what the person was thinking. I mean, if you're going to change students' answers, you should probably be subtle about it, right? Change enough to increase scores but don't change so many that it's truly unbelievable. Wonder if this was hubris or simply stupidity. Either way, shouldn't be shocking when you pin someone's livelihood to students' test results.
