[quote=Anonymous]So, among all the kids in general, without regard for cultural background,* who is responsible when kids cheat? Parents, kids, TJ staff, teachers? I've seen all of the above blamed here.

I think it comes down what I posted below. We can't slough off the blame on others, we all have to do our part. And I think the only way TJ can do its part is if they know that the parents will back them up, every time, and not make excuses for kids.

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.

* I think we should stop blaming cultural background or using that as an excuse. People from countries that drive on the left don't come here and try to do that here. When you're in a different place, you follow the rules of that place.
