The incident is another episode in what experts - and concerned Tenafly parents - say is a developing story about suburban students questing for perfection, no matter the cost.Įxperts assert that cheating is an increasingly widespread phenomenon, even among the brightest students at the nation's top schools.Īshley Kipiani of Wyckoff, an educator who has tutored high schoolers for more than 15 years, notes that the pressure to cheat is higher today as students aspire for a perfect grade point average, AP credits and a ticket into a top college.Ĭheating is also easier in today's high tech world than it was years ago when students had to peer over their shoulders at their classmate's test paper, or write test answers on their arms, she said. He stressed that he could release very little information about the case because it's an active investigation involving a juvenile. 'The Prosecutor's Office is assisting the Tenafly Police Department with the investigation,' Tenafly Police Chief Robert Chamberlain told The Record and in a telephone interview. But the district soon discovered the scheme, suspended the student from school and rescinded his college applications, said school officials. Tenafly police were asked to investigate and the Board of Education filed two charges against the student in juvenile court, said police.
