[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, are you saying that teachers do not change their tests from year to year? That would seem very unfair for kids that do not have siblings at TJ. Teachers definitely should release their old tests for students to practice, and they should come up with new ones every year to even out the playing field.[/quote]

Stop making it the teacher's fault when a kid cheats. Sorry, I keep hearing that as an excuse, and it just doesn't hold water. What about teaching kids integrity and honesty, even when someone offers them test questions from a previous year?

A lot of classes do not lend themselves to writing a completely new test every year.  Isn't better to teach kids not to cheat than to tell them that it's the teacher's fault for not creating an entirely new test, even when that is not possible?

Let's not make excuses for kids who are doing wrong. Let's teach them to grow to be adults who are honourable and have integrity, even when (especially when) it would be easy and beneficial to do the wrong thing.
