Not only did the cheating students learn a dangerous lesson from their complaining/enabling parents and the compliant school board, but the honest kids were taught something as well.

Just another day at government school. Mission accomplished.

Thanks for the comment. I think, on a larger plane, it is also a significant example of the confusion and ignorance about service in a public office, such as a school board.

The confusion about our form of government fostered by constantly refering to it as a "Democracy" rather than a Republic (whose representatives are chosen by largely democratic processes, varied for diffusion of power) leads people to perform the job of deliberative representation poorly.

They honestly think they are supposed to be a pliebisitory delegate. As such, just an extention of the Will of the People, however it presents itself, minute to minute.

It's just not government schools, it's also the mentality of the parents. If the school showed me one of my kids was a cheat, that baby's a$$ would be grass. Not the teachers.

Just went through a similair thing here. Our school got caught cheating on the state exam. A few parents were outraged at the mother that turned the school in. Amazing. I truly don't understand how this thought process works.
"Symbolism over substance" I guess. Gross.
