» Naomi Rockler-Gladen - Such an interesting issue

This is so disturbing. I didn't realize students could use iPods to download info and cheat until a TA pointed that out.

In my classrooms, unless I say something, students will sit there and text message right in front of me. Even the good students. I think text messaging has become so much a part of their lives that they don't see it as rude.

I find it is also quite disturbing that it's considered normal behavior to cheat. There seems to be little guilt when cheating and little shame when caught. It is treated very lightly like having a bad hair day. Students look at you as if you are unreasonble when you take their study guide away from them during a test. I'm sure colleges are seeing a bigger problem than in the past.

I didn't realize that cheating has become so problematic in the States. I thought it was prolbematic in Israel.It seems like technology has become more and more of an issue and less learning is actually going on.

I've not noticed cheating to be that rampant really. Perhaps part of the blame here rests on the pressure to get results in GPA's and grades rather than the focus of the education being for your own benefit/understanding. If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself.
