[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who keep repeating the line - parents need to tell children it is not okay to cheat - like a broken reccord, we are talking past each other. It is not going to help anyone. I can tell my child it is not okay to cheat, and I can give all the wisdom and moral ethics in the world, however, when the pressure gets high in a school like TJ, will they still be able to hold up and resist? you are expecting parents have full control over their teenage children, and you should know better. So, instead of blaming it all on parents, responsibility falls on TJ for creating this pressure cooker situation. Why do they allow kids to accelerate so much in many subjects and why do they create such impossible test standards? TJ need to look carefully at what they are doing, and it is not just parents or kids who are responsible. [/quote]

It takes a village.

Parents, school admins, teachers, and students all need to work together. Kids need to be hearing the same message from all sides. Yes, doing the right thing is often difficult, but we can help and support our kids while they develop their own strong moral and ethical muscles.

And it is not only TJ that is encouraging students to take more challenging classes. Let's face it, many parents out there are pushing their kids to take as many AP and post-AP classes as they possibly can. TJ does not bear sole responsibility for creating a pressure cooker situation, by any means. If some kids are taking so many difficult classes that they think cheating is the only way to survive, they need to drop back a bit, not cheat.
