[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a situation of "Don't ask, don't tell."  As long as my kid is getting good grades on the tests and understands the work, just don't get caught and don't flaunt it in front of me.[/quote]

Why do you think this is OK?   Honesty matters.   I'd rather have a kid who flunks out because they don't do homework than a kid who gets an A because she cheats.  [/quote]

I don't think it's okay. But I've also been alive long enough to know that everything isn't black and white. A priest can laugh when someone trips, and a thief can help an old lady across the street. Maybe I'd point out to my kid that it's lame to cheat when she's only getting a B. But maybe that wouldn't be the battle I'd pick. [/quote]

Okay what exactly would be the battle to picking if CHEATING doesn't qualify? Committing murder? Selling drugs? Will you finally grow a spine and be a PARENT?[/quote]

NP. If you equivocate murder to copying a homework assignment, I think you might have your priorities out of whack.

You can raise a moral, productive citizen who copied a high school geometry assignment.

Seriously.

Follow it through though, people have been known to murder because it gets a competitor out of the way. It's easier than having to do the work to  figure out what it takes to out compete the competitor.[/quote]
Ah, yes. From copying 9th grade geometry homework...it's just one step to committing murder. Watch out people, this girl is a danger to society. [/quote]
