Now, I used the expression, mental giant, because the students that one had to be wary of breaking into the classroom were the students that wern’t the mental giants their parents wanted and expected them to be. Many students in such schools are under extreme pressure to perform perfectly by their parents.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with parents having high expectations. However, when a teacher has students in class especially on a scheduled exam day, who perspire profusely during the exam, even though they had prepared as best they could, certain curcumstances are immediately evident. One of the circumstances,in my experience, is the parents of those children aren’t intereted in the welfare of their children, but are expecting the children to make them look good no matter. So some of those students take the drastic actions to keep their parents happy.

This is a mild experience compared to some I could tell, but alas, I remain polite.

This was a planned activity, which brought in CO-CONSPIRATORS; they are lucky that the DA is willing to deal at all.

There is NO excuse for these kids – they’ve had every advantage in life, and they still felt entitled to cheat without punishment?

Advanced Math HONORS? They should completely lose the credit. They have no honor.

This is isn’t just breaking and entering or trespass: unlawfully entering on the property of another with the intent to commit an offense therein is burglary, period. Even letting them off with a misdemeanor is a double standard. As a prosecutor myself, I’d find it disgraceful if my colleagues in New Hampshire were to accede to that.
