A little beside the point, but it sounds like a nice place I do not see how it is beside the point. We were expected not to cheat and we rose to that expectation. Students today are trying to get jobs, please parents and get certain grades but do not have the moral underpinning to do that without cheating. They have to be taught that being honorable is a huge part of their education and honesty is expected of them. The epidemic of cheating is part of the dumbing down of America, both academically and ethically.
