People would typically pay $2,500 to the scheme’s fixer, who would bribe test officials and have proxies take their certification tests, prosecutors said.

Five people have been charged in Texas with organizing and participating in an illegal cheating scheme that certified more than 200 unqualified teachers and helped the plot’s “kingpin” rake in more than $1 million, prosecutors said.

In the scheme, people would typically pay $2,500 to have proxies take certification tests for them at two testing centers in Houston. The scandal involved bribing a testing proctor to allow test applicants and their proxies to switch places, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said at a news conference Monday.

    I had to take an exam for something (post school) and it required a fucking palm print. I was amused at the time but I’m starting to get it.

        So they strip you naked and have you spread your ass cheeks so they can spray chemicals on your balls and taint these days?

        I mean that’s what happens at jail, maybe prison isn’t as bad.
