[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"This is a cop out. My kids are in challenging programs and don't cheat. If the work is too much, go to your regular program. If kids are cheating, ask admin to crack down. All these excuses just seek to legitimize cheating. That's not ok.'

I'm certainly not condoning it.

I'd be careful about insisting that your kids don't cheat, at least if they're "top students" and in challenging programs. You don't know what you don't know. I would have said the same thing until I got the phone call from the school telling me what was going on. We adults have created a sick culture in these competitive high schools. The kids are responding rationally.

I am careful.  I know my kids. They have their fair share of warts. This is not one. You do not know them,  so do not comment on what you do not know. Also,  stop deflecting, it just adds to the notion that you are somehow defending this. A lot of kids have integrity and don't cheat.  Stop legitimizing cheating. [/quote]
