[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that the cheating is a problem caused by the school, since most of the kids are not cheating. [b]Sometimes kids cheat because they are young and their morals are not fully formed[/b], sometimes, sadly, they have a family situation that is not teaching them that cheating is wrong.

If the family is falling down on the job, the school needs to step up and teach the kids and their parents that cheating is unacceptable, no excuses allowed.

You're kidding, right?  My ES kid gets really upset if someone breaks the established rules to the point of following teachers' instructions on homework.  This is from 2nd grade on.  Everyone - teachers, parents, counselors, etc) has a role in developing ethical children.

However, I've also heard that TJ teachers don't teach and they give out tests that are way out of High school league without having taught the subject in depth.  This might prompt the kids to cheat, especially if there are no consequences.
