This subject's been on my mind for a while too...
It's a short opinion piece about our nation's moral compass.

I have such adorable, creative,& stubborn children....share the frustration, the cuteness, the highly imaginative ramblings and the gritty reality of our day to day life, well...not all of it. I am,afterall, hoping to retain people's good opinion. : ) PS. Warning! If grammar and spelling errors bother you.....I expect most of this to be stream of conscience type writing-and my spelling could be described as creative, or occasionally hopeful.

This is claire. Not to justify or excuse students who cheat, but so much of the "work" given to students in school is busy work, not anything meant to stimulate the mind. Tests are more often than not just a hoop to jump through, not a symbol of how much a person has actually learned. I've flunked tests that i studied hard for, and passed tests that required the most base rote memorization rather than cerebral effort. When you're looking at it from this angle, who actually gives a crap what way a person makes their way through a broken educational system? On a similar vein, there are many reasons for cheating on a spouse, or to cheat your employer out of whatever. It's passive agressive a lot of times, and it's certainly something to be worried about. The difference is that this article treats cheating as the problem, not a symptom of a larger problem. Why did the husband cheat on his wife? Why do those students cheat on tests? Why do people steal from their jobs? We all know it's wrong. The "moral compass" isn't the issue. People are angry in this country and don't believe anymore in the institutions set up a long time ago. They just can't find a constructive way to express it and/or feel like they can't or "shouldn't".
