Teacher claims grade fixing at her NYC high school
This “F” stands for fix!
Queens school bosses changed an advanced placement student’s F grade to boost scores — then set their sights on the teacher who blew the whistle on the alleged grade fixing, a bombshell federal lawsuit claims.
Information Technology High School English teacher Susan Muzafar, 33, failed an unnamed student but her superiors changed the grade without telling her and then hit her with disciplinary actions as revenge, she said in a lawsuit filed in Brooklyn federal court.
The move is just one example of bosses at the Long Island City school and the city Department of Education turning up the heat on educators to pass undeserving students, according to the lawsuit.
“It opens up a huge can of worms. Not every student who passed at the high school earned a passing grade from the teacher,” a source at the high school told The Post.
