Kids Share Tips for Cheating in School on YouTube
Videos instructing students in how to effectively cheat are increasingly prevalent on YouTube, according to CBS News.
While YouTube has not exercised its authority to remove these videos, or at least any significant portion of them, commentators are urging kids to consider their future reputations, and that apparently antiquated notion of ethics, before posting such videos.
Some kids, while using pseudonyms, nevertheless display their faces in the videos, while the craftier among them are careful to more fully obscure their identities. The highlighted methods of sneaking notes into a classroom range from sewing them into articles of clothing, to creating an impostor soft drink label with photo-editing software.
With all the creativity and time these kids expend in devising these methods, implementing them and editing videos on how to do it, couldn't they just be studying? [From: CBS News]

Maybe if the educative system was well designed (ie. not the obsolete utter crap it is now in ALL the world), there would be no need to cheat.
But then again, to implement the correct method of educating, we'd need to get rid of ALOT (pretty much all, actually) of the ideas people have had about children for ages...

Really - this is suprising?
Kids have shared ways of cheating way before the internet arrived. We all know the tricks - wear a skirt and write it on your leg - write it on a piece of gum - we all know them.
C'mon, people. Let's use some common sense before we act all shocked.

I say let them find whatever means there are to cheating. The Internet is not a parent nor a teacher. Of course, I would say that there is almost no legal system in place for cheating in school or college, and the only recourse by the institution is to expel the student.
Conversely, we do not seem to take the matter serious enough as a society, yet its up to society to pay for their education. I think if there were real punishments for cheating and cheaters then maybe someone would take a second moment on what they are about to do.
Who cares if they use the Internet to learn how to cheat vs. listening to their friends in person or on a tele/cellphone?
