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]

I would like kids to not cheat, even if the teacher uses a test that has been used before. Why blame the teachers when kids cheat?

Sorry, hit submit too soon.

I'm not sure a petition is appropriate here. I'd like to see the school create a contract that makes it clear that if a student cheats, there will be consequences that increase in severity with each transaction, with the third strike meaning return to the student's base school. The parents need to understand that cheating will not be tolerated by the school, and they will not accept excuses.
