[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A student at my child's HS was caught in a major cheating incident that he coordinated.  He goes to a top 10 college (probably #1 in his field).  Not the way it should be but reality.[/quote]

This!  Schools don't report these infractions and they leave it up to the student to report it (which kid with half a brain will self-report this?).

A few years ago, DC's friend had reported a cheating ring in her HS and wanted to incorporate that experience into her essays (how she chose values over friendship).  Apparently everyone that advised her on the essays told her not to.  Don't remember why (probably did not want to show their school in a bad light). Go figure! [/quote]

Probably because no one likes a snitch.[/quote]
I think also because if it gets formally reported it’s becomes a big deal, a big hassle for the teacher and likely the kid gets expelled. So a total and extended PIA for everyone where everyone is left feeling disappointed . [/quote]
