Hi Tech Cheating -- Scotland to Asia REPORTS of exam cheating by Scottish school pupils have rocketed this summer, with incidents of plagiarism doubling. Full story: http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=860062006 High-tech cheating in Asia's high-stakes exams As students sweat through do-or-die tests for college spots, educators do battle with clever cheaters. By Simon Montlake http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0609/p01s02-woap.html?s=hns ................................ Cheating has always been around. I remember at one of my schools a practice that focused our attention on the phenomenon which required us to append to our answer sheets the word "pledge" which stood for: "I have neither received nor given assistance to others in doing this exam." However, my own students have alerted me to the fact that the impulse to cheat is alive and well today and, perhaps, on the increase as exam results are thought to affect one's future well-being. It ranges from the usual old time glance at the exam answer being drafted by the person in the next seat to modern hi tech stuff that could scarcely be detected short of intimate body searches of those entering an examination room. How sad. Now on to our pols and CEOs. -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
