Louisiana School Famous for Rags-to-Riches Ivy League Acceptances Exposed as Fraud
30th November 2018
T.M. Landry College Preparatory School in Lousiana made headlines with a series of viral videos showing their students reacting to news that they’d been accepted to Ivy League Universities.
But a new report from The New York Times has exposed the dark underbelly of the school that once boasted “a 100-percent college acceptance rate.”
According to the report, transcripts were doctored and extracurricular activities were invented. Students were encouraged to lie about their family situations in order to make their successes appear even more dramatic. And students and teachers alike described a “culture of abuse” that was widespread.
If something is too good to be true, it is usually false.
When you reward certain types of behavior, you get more of it.
