[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They should have judges who do not have children at TJ or not participating in the Fair.[/b]

I was a judge a couple of years back and my child did not participate in the Fair ever. At that time, those I rated ended roughly what I expected. [/quote]

This is how the vast majority of schools run their science fairs, from elementary to high school.[/quote]

DP. I met a lot of parents that are good and moral - they wont sabotage some other kid for their kid to get ahead. They have a laid back attitude of "everything will work out" - I'm not going to be a model of cheating.

Then we have hundreds of Littlefingers in the county that will do what it takes. Trying to create a policy that doesn't accuse or target them is a bit hard.  Kids watch kids of Littlefingers and see them unfairly get ahead - this causes an effect of: this is what I got to do to get ahead.[/quote]

I've been in the room during judging and they don't do this.

The kids who are most likely to succeed have parents that are more likely to be invested in the activity and that is your volunteer pool.[/quote]
