Korean Students Cheating.... Again

I got this post sent to me today, an article on how the American SAT's have been cancelled because private academies and even parents have been encouraging cheating on the test.

Not that cheating is unique to Korea by any means, but the attitude seems to be that it is only a problem if you get caught. The ethics of it are not an issue. This has led to many problems with Korean students in the west who are suspended for cheating, often without realizing they did it.

The article cites a few great examples, and is worth a read.

I certainly see it in my classes, though my current school has a tough stance on cheating (unlike other schools I have worked for) which is nice and leads to more honest results.

In the meantime Chinese and Indian students have a few more places next year at U.S universities.
