a third of the senior class in one catholic high school was caught cheating on final exams - with their cell phones. i mean, really, cheating on a test is not new, i assume people have been doing it since there were tests. the attention here is because the students used their phones, even though phones are prohibited in school. the article notes that 35% of teens admitted to cheating at least once with the phones [Common Sense Media poll in June].
cheating at a catholic school! ooh, this must have some people burning.
what burns me, though, is another stat given from the common sense poll: "45% said texting friends about answers during a test is cheating, but 20 percent say it isn’t." WHAT? what is wrong with these 20%?
