these how you get on. makes me feel sad she doesn t feel comfortable enough to say, hey, don t do that. how are you guys? now i head into the library to ask them about the test. did you have fun doing this? yes. i let them squirm. you guys seem to know your pop culture. very good. then tell them what your show is really about. this is actually a show on nbc, but it s a show on cheating. we have hidden cameras all around the room. and your parents have been watching. i was gonna say oh, my gosh. emma admits right away a that as one of the younger kids in the library, she felt helpless. i didn t think we should cheat but since they are 16, i was kind of like embarrassed to say anything. so ethics teacher rosalyn wiseman comes in to say what they did is typical for kids their age. so you are not in trouble, okay?
with the next group of students, we put that idea to the test. this time, when our producer gives instructions, we make the audition less competitive, no longer stressing the importance of just getting the answers right. and all we need to know from you is what you know. you can get them wrong that is okay. that also helps us. will it make a difference? at the table are twin sisters christina and patience and cassie, an honors student who has told her mom she doesn t like it when other kids try to copy her work. she felt very bad that somebody was cheating off of her, that that was doing them a disservice because they are not learning by that. and 11-year-old unctrey, trey for short. his name means to be honest, upright and righteous. can trey live up to that big name? he is the youngest kid we are testing today. i will give you a few minute to us do it, okay? once again, the actors start cheating during the individual test.
powerful peer pressure can be. she says her daughter is the go along to get along type and suspects she just might join the cheaters? think miranda might help them do it. you think she is going to join in the cheating? i love her to death but she is so kind. she s people pleaser? she wants to make everybody happy. the parents of xavier and julia think the opposite, predicting their kids will stand up to the cheaters. i m thinking she is not going to follow the crowd if there is something inappropriate or something she knows i would not approve of. i guess we will find out. the kids race lieu the obstacle course the first time they can. the first time through, they do it in 40 seconds. i got 40. but later, the actress we planted to cheat wants to change the time to 34. what the heck? right away, miranda speaks up, but not in the way her mom predicted.
