[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids would't have agreed to any bribe, handout, side door, connection etc even if it was on the plate. I think young men and women who benefit from such actions are also partly responsible for going along.[/quote]
Agree, but it sounds like some of the kids didn’t know. The story with the Huffman/Macy daughter was particularly sad. She legit thought she got a great test score after years of struggling and was thrilled with herself. Her mom talked about her regrets for betraying her daughter as well as cheating the system.

Not sure why people are humanizing these scammers. How could these kids not have known their scores were off?  [/quote]

I’m the person above with the kid with dyslexia.  My kid worked so hard and really thought they would hit 30.  They got 26.  So frustrating.  Luckily, most schools are test optional.[/quote]
Yeah, I never knew what score to expect on any standardized test or higher level math exam. For the latter, I often ended up with As when I thought I’d bombed. That’s how it goes when you don’t really understand the material but are able to cram enough to recognize and reproduce patterns you’ve memorized. [/quote]
