Honor code to target high-tech cheating
Forget about cell phone jammers, here's a low tech solution to prevent SMS cheating, the honor code. "The Internet, cell phones, pagers and sophisticated calculators are big advances in technology. They also make it easier for students to cheat in class and on homework, reports The Enquirer. That's why a committee of high school students at Villa Madonna Academy and their principal, Pamela McQueen, are meeting Monday to begin developing an honor code. At the conference she reviewed codes from other high schools, including McQuaid Jesuit in New York, Seaholm in Alabama and Northwest Rankin in Mississippi. Rankin implemented its code two years ago. Possible penalties for students there who cheat or plagiarize include a grade of zero on assignments, ineligibility for school-sponsored offices and disqualification for school awards."
