[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Agreed. It is just unfortunate that the new administration is putting increased value on awards and accolades, which means we'll see more of this kind of parent-engineering cheating. Unless the top supports ethics and sets clear boundaries and consequences, these parents will continue to teach their kids that cheating is okay. [/quote]

Do you have any evidence that Mukai is not supporting ethical behavior?

Perhaps you can give examples of when Bonitatibus set these clear boundaries and consequences.[/quote]

One major issue is that TJ does not have a school wide policy and consequence for academic integrity violations. They vary from CT to CT and each AP handles these cases differently. [/quote]
