[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say - the administration's focus on cheating and responses to it has improved greatly under the new leadership. It's still not adequate - nothing will be until they can use restorative justice for a first offense and send kids back to their base school for a second one - but it's a lot better.

Glazer was far more concerned with the school's reputation than with cheating - witness the fact that he implemented a 3.0 cutoff to remain at the school but never seriously advocated for major consequences for cheaters. Just one of the many ways he abjectly destroyed TJ's vibrant culture during his tenure as he rebuilt the school (quite literally) in his image).[/quote]

I have been completely underwhelmed at the TJ administration's response to cheating this school year. We have seen the same students get away with what they have always gotten away with. However, with DL, + no mandatory use of cameras + ongoing culture among many students that anything is fair game as long as you don't get caught, it probably is just too large of a hurdle to overcome until kids are back in the classroom.

This year is a total loss as far as that is concerned. The kids are going to get out of the year what they get, bottom line, but it's not reasonable to place virtual cheating behaviors on the teachers' plates in addition to everything else they're dealing with right now. It sucks because it creates imbalances in the college admissions process, but that's always the case at TJ. [/quote]
