[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's become a myth that Asian kids prepped hard to score high on tests.
Look at the international olympiad in math, physics, chemistry,..... that require highest intellectual ability and take a wild guess at Asian concentration in USA national teams. It's been averaging 70-90% Asians during last decade. 
Did they overprep? Who cares! If you can  prep to achieve the highest honor in the whole world (be it math olympiad or sports olympiad) then so be it!
The point is you have no way to even come close to that level even if you prep to death because it also requires raw talent that you guys conveniently ignore.[/quote]
that said, we have no condolence for cheating. All the cheating students should be given an F and be suspended accordingly. We'll also urge the new TJ leadership to take action on cheating.[/quote]

Parents need to support and back up the administration in cracking down on cheating. Parents need to be very clear in telling their kids that cheating is unacceptable in their household.  Every kid caught needs to be held accountable and the offense needs to be entered on the record that goes to colleges. Students need to understand that cheating is a very serious infraction.

We can't have parents complaining when their kids are caught and working to get the consequences reduced. We can't have parents blaming teachers when their kids get caught cheating and making excuses for kids when they cheat.

Parents need to tell the administrators that they want a school which will not tolerate cheating and that they will be 100% behind actions that the admins take to eliminate cheating at TJ. I would like to see the school send home a contract saying this before school starts, to be signed by students and parents and which every student must have on file.

This thread is pages long!  I'm assuming that the posts decrying cheating are not the same person.  If so, why don't you guys start a petition on this cheating issue and get parent signatures.  I'm sure all the freshmen will sign up (including the "cheating" asian ones, don't you think?)  My kid is just starting TJ and I'd gladly sign the petition.  I'd also expect the school to lay down strict rules/guidelines AND the teachers to change their test questions every year (can't believe this needs to be told).[/quote]
