DP, but I heard about this from my kid-- who is a freshman. It was all over the school.  I did not hear all the details of how the neurobio ring worked, but I did hear that the kids were let off with a warning.   Until TJ starts flunking and expelling cheaters, this will never get better.  And no-- I don't think I'll return my kid to his base school. Thanks anyway. Like a lot of parents, I will have my kid stay put and fight hard to have the new administration come down on cheaters hard and make cheating so painful that the kids, and the teachers and parents who enable it, cut it out or leave. They are the ones ruining the school. Not my kid. [/quote]

TJ administration won't do anything unless the news comes out in major papers like Washington Post. Then the admins butts will be on fire and things are likely to change for good. If someone has contacts with major media like NYTimes, Wash Post, Wtop, NPR, etc, this kind of information should go out. This is no way to blame the honest kids, but actually to help them.[/quote]

You don't need personal contacts. Pick up the phone or send an e-mail. Get some coverage on this, TJ parents. The PP is right--until the school flunks and expels kids for this kind of thing, it will continue and will just keep harming the honest kids. [/quote]

[b]Nearly 100% certain that if TJ were 75% white population there will be no cries of cheating even if it was going on, parents would circle wagon and form a tight group to hush it down and handle it secretly. As if TJ is the only school this happens, the voices are growing louder because of the Asian population in TJ[/b]. [/quote]
So you admit that there is a cheating problem at TJ!
That's a good start.[/quote]

LOL .. admit what, when I am not a TJ parent and my kid is not in TJ. You have an axe to grind, that is what I am calling out, and anyone reading these forums can do that. [/quote]
[quote][quote]No, sorry, you are completely wrong on this. People don't like cheating. It has nothing to do with race. There are plenty of incidents of white people cheating where they have been caught and punished. If TJ were 75% white and there were a sophomore cheating ring there would be just as much of an outcry if appropriate consequences were not applied. [/quote]

+1. I really don't care what ethnicity, race, gender, religion, etc. kids who cheat are. They screw up things at TJ for my kid by giving a significant boost the the kids who cheat. When it comes time to curve a test, that's a problem. Deflect all you want, but cheaters do not get a pass because they are Asian. And ithe administration should come down as hard on AA, white, Hispanic or multicultural cheaters.[/quote]

The only axe people want to grind here is the cheating axe. Over the years, at many schools and at many levels, I have seen people of all races get caught cheating at various times and there have been consequences with no regard for the race of the perpetrators.

No one likes cheating. Parents of any race should not make excuses when their children cheat and should support the school when it uncovers and needs to deal with cheating. [/quote]
