[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is going to make changes when colleges start rejecting their applicants. Colleges do not want cheaters. They are getting students who are selling themselves as A students who would be B students if not for cheating. It's going to catch up with them at some point.

Cultural differences are not an excuse. I know that teachers and admin are very clear about using old tests and sharing test questions. It's not ambiguous to the students at all. My elementary school son didn't know an answer to a question on a HW, so I asked if he wanted me to google it to find out - he said "NO WAY!"[b] My teacher says never to google things to find out.[/b] So if elementary school kids are getting the message that work needs to be solely their own, why can't TJ kids?[/quote]

This is so stupid. No wonder why American eduction system is failing to create more competitive students ready for STEM jobs, and have to import from other countries. If you do not know the answer, just don't do it, and who is going to teach them the correct answer, the teacher? good luck with that. Most teacher's are poor in teaching and do not do a good job and they are also overworked and under qualified. Students need to do their due diligence in finding the answers if they were not taught, and if you do not do it when you are attempting to work on a problem then chances are you will forget to do it next day.

Gosh  :shock: are you people really nuts. Get a clue, parents and students need to work on their own in addition to the teaching. This is very much needed in TJ as well. I guess you all want to dumb down the education system, and eliminate all the Asians from that system. Go ahead, dumb it down, close the borders, and let America become less competitive. [/quote]

Nice excuse.  There is a big difference between looking something up for homework and cheating on tests.  I totally agree with you that kids should show some initiative to figure their homework out rather than expecting the teacher to teach each kid to their level, so I think not looking up an answer on homework is silly and not in the spirit of an honor code (unless it's a take home test and they were instructed not to get help).  However, getting test questions and answers from other kids is cheating.  It should be an honor code violation and go on the kid's transcript.  Colleges should see it so they know they are not getting what the child advertises (because the kid isn't really an A student if they cheated to get the A).  That would put an end to it quickly!  I have no respect for kids who get As at TJ by cheating and they should not be rewarded for that behavior by getting into top schools.  By the way, parents whose kids are getting As by cheating, take a look in the mirror.  Perhaps they are cheating because of pressure they receive from you.[/quote]
