[quote=Anonymous]PP, mother of grad.  I didn't get the sense that NCS has a huge cheating problem.  I'm sure it happens, as it happens everywhere.  But it does have a big problem with its unwillingness to take on parents.  I can totally see the school shrinking away from a confrontation without proof above and beyond what most schools would require for fear of taking on the parents.

They rarely counsel out students who misbehave.  At times I think this is compassionate.  There have been girls caught using drugs who were allowed to seek treatment and stay.  I think thats probably more likely to help the student than kicking her out and i agree with this approach (when used in a considered manner).  but the unwillingness to take on behavior that is harmful to the community, like cheating, like bullying (not just snarkiness, but girls known by the administration for relentless meanness, targetting specific girls) is, I believe, a fear of the parents -- either their donations, or that they would sue, or that it would somehow hurt the school's rep.[/quote]
