[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, [b]when the pressure gets high in a school like TJ[/b], 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]

Where is this pressure coming from?  Are you saying it's the students themselves?  Might I suggest the "pressure" more likely is coming from home.  And who is allowing the kids to accelerate?  Again, I think it most likely the parents?   And impossible test standards?  How about one kid has copies of old tests (not given out by the teacher) and another one doesn't.  Maybe the one who doesn't have the old tests, but understands the material and studies hard.  Why shouldn't that student be rewarded with a fair and accurate grade based on what he truly knows?

Signed,

Parent of a white kid at TJ who is doing just fine at TJ without cheating
