[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS graduated from a challenging private school with 20 AP credits at his in state public. It’s supposed to be an “honors” college but there is rampant cheating. He caught a suite mate taking his notebooks out of his room and copying off his assignments while he was showering or at a club meeting and a professor accused him of cheating. I had to arrange a meeting with an administrator to discuss the situation and she looked at me agape like a codfish with no response. Absent this situation and another professor who is currently failing an entire section of a second year in major course for no apparent reason, it’s been otherwise a good experience. I never expected his college experience to be without challenges and I don’t know how common this is, but I wish he had taken my advice and accepted the scholarship to the honors program at an out of state public that he was offered instead. This seems like an example of the nail that sticks up gets hammered down. I would expect that from a public kindergarten, not a public college.[/quote]

Interesting. Do you think the cheating situation could have also occurred at the out of state public? Why do you wish he had chosen that school?[/quote]
