[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.

They are making a huge mistake.  College is a lot of very hard work.   Students need to develop successful skills in HS to manage the college load and that most certainly does not include cheating.

They are spending all that time and energy and money in college and will not even be able to master the material?  What a waste.

Tell them to take the time and energy wasted on cheating to learn the stuff.[/quote]
