Posting for Jessica Tishler-Bennett:

1. In the grand scheme of things, I don't believe this to be any bigger of a scandal than something such as Bernie Madoff or any number of the other schemes that happen all the time. Although it's unethical, it's not as severe as millions of people losing all of their money completely.

2. As stressful as the SATs already were for me, especially for someone who's major had nothing to do with the contents of the test just like the art major from the podcast, it does feel terrible that people can use their money to buy themselves through school. However, this is just the way society works in general. The more money you have, the more likely you are to get out of legal trouble etc. So it's not something that surprises me.

3. The fact that the parents didn't want their children finding out about their scores being fixed tells us that they knew that what they were doing was wrong. I believe in complete honesty meaning not letting your child think they did better on a test than they really did. I think a child should always know their strengths and weaknesses, even when it comes to something (in my opinion) as menial as a test at school.
