1. Compared to some scandals and crimes I would say that many may see this as a minor ethical dilemma. I personally don't think that test scores define a person or their abilities to perform in their chosen professions. I know some people who test well and yet struggle with actual task, while I know others who struggle with tests and are great at the actual task. I have to admit I was shocked at the lengths taken for someone to score well on a test. I feel that not only is paying someone to pretend to be you to take a test is morally wrong and illegal, but it does the person an injustice as well.

2. Test taking is stressful, and as I said I don't believe that a test score defines a person, I feel better about myself knowing I have done my best, I personally have not done so well on a few tests during times of stress and other issues, but I studied and did my best and I knew it. The Side Door podcast makes me wonder how often this sort of thing happens, considering the amount of money involved.

3. I would have to say that it is probably better that the student not know what the parents have done, (at least they are not knowingly part of the crime), but for me personally, if I learned of it I would feel betrayed, as though my parents lied to me and that they had very little faith in my abilities as a student or for that matter as a person.
