[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. If the parents are willing to foot the bill for Sidwell and college, let him go to Sidwell.

TJ is not for everyone. I've heard that the culture of cheating that exists there, just so kids can keep their heads above water, is pervasive and discouraging for kids who go there. I know two students who have left because of this.[/quote]

Cheating is pervasive at many FCPS high schools, not just TJ (I know that it's prevalent at Langley, Madison and McLean). And my guess is that it's prevalent at most high schools with helicopter parents.[/quote]

How would you know this?  Doubt you have had kids at all four schools or really know what goes on there. [/quote]
I’ve had kids at two of them and they have friends at other high schools and kids talk. We’re also a member of a church where I am in contact with a lot of teens and they talk about this and how heavily it weighs on them.

In addition, I have friends who are teachers and they’ve also told me there’s nothing they can do about it. Administration is scared of the repercussions of their actions. Ask any high school teacher at one of the “top” high schools in the county and they’ll tell you the same. [/quote]

No, actually they won’t.[/quote]
