Yeah. I know what you mean. The teacher was caught when students were blabbing about it. Another teacher got wind and tipped off the principal who started asking questions. Basically this person was ratted out by blabber mouth students and other teachers who played by the rules and were steaming over this. The teachers are no angels, but this forces them to use similar tactics to compete if not stopped. There is cut throat competition for teaching hours, which are being cut back for fiscal reasons. Student test scores are considered in whether a teacher gets full time hours or part time hours. Hence the motive to cheat.

In Los Angeles, teachers' and cops' hours are being cut to save money, but the city has money to train and hire "gang interventionists." This is the Twilight Zone.
