[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]

Who are you to judge? If he was able to coordinate a cheating effort, he's showing intelligence, leadership and managerial skills. You also don't know what his family contributes to the top-10 college.

OP's committed a cardinal sin, not knowing whether the cheating thing stayed with the teacher or whether it was reported. Normally I'd say the student never should have admitted to cheating, but if the teacher had him dead to rights then admitting it in exchange for keeping it within the classroom makes sense.

Ideally, it never would have come to any of this. The parents would have known the kid was in trouble. They would have had tutoring in place. They would have donated so much to the school that the teacher would get the rug pulled out from under him if he pushed the student.

But you live and learn. Given the mistakes OP and OP's kid made, this isn't the worst outcome so long as they know the cheating stays with the teacher, and OP's kid keeps his mouth shut in applications and interviews.[/quote]

This is obviously a troll, people. Don’t feed it. [/quote]
