[> Subject: I've been following the comments on the UK & Ireland Voy board. But here's the thing. If you/your kid are still dancing with CLRG, you're tacitly accepting all the cheating that's been going on, right? So what difference does the TT IG account make? It's crystal clear that CLRG wholeheartedly embraces cheating and has no plans to do a thing to stop it.

People throw a lot of time, effort, sweat and tears into this hobby.

I could easily see a situation where someone walked away, but is still curious about this scandal.

Seeing it all unfold (again) in this very public way is probably validating their choice to leave.

it must be quite the shock.

Or-

do parents know or do young adults know when their teachers are cheating for them? is that even a thing?

[> [> [> [> Subject: I'm sure they didn't. But this TC/AD surely knew he was risking getting caught. He's the one who chose to put them in this embarrassing position. Fortunately these texts are from years ago, and anyone who was in senior ladies or Girls 19-20 (the only 2 groups I've seen him reference) are adults now. At least they are not called out by name.

This is how it works- if they get lucky and their buddies are on a panel, you'll see dancers place high- if not, they won't place as high.

Asking is cheating though, plain and simple. And I'm 100% sure it wasn't the first or last time it happened.

A small school here or there gets a top dancer on the box, but the sheer number of dancers that WQ or stand on the podium are from schools that cheat.

Remind me why we let our children compete in this foolishness?

I really wish Competitive Irish Dance wasn't so corrupt, but it is.

Hope everyone who doesn't condone this cheating or profit from this corruption can find a way to celebrate their love of Irish Dance outside of competition.

There is no reason to answer a very defensive question of "who is an "awesome dancer you believe didn't make it to the box".

This is the point behind the post:

There is zero question that cheating is wrong. No gray area.

Many schools that are considered "successful" in the NE region have been outed as cheaters.

These facts cannot be refuted despite the effort to redirect the conversation.

Date Posted: 16:26:26 02/16/24 Fri

No one can possibly know for sure which placements are real and which have been unduly influenced by texts/phone calls/face to face conversations.

It's a real shame, and most of all for the kids.

Adults are taking advantage of children for the sake of their pocketbooks- you have a champion, you parade them in front of everyone to build your school- more money, more championships, more money, etc. etc.

We now know that these teachers actively sought out certain placements- too bad they didn't just trust the dancers talent and training.

cheating teachers let students down
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 07:43:40 02/20/24 Tue

sad that they don't trust their own teaching nor their student's talent.

and because we know they cheat, they call all of their student's accomplishments into question.

on the day there are generally anywhere from 5-10 kids that could win a competition and around 20-25 that could be seen as potential WQ.

if a child dances with a school that has been called out by screenshots or by previous envelopes slipped under doors- no one trusts those placements anymore.
