I have no ideas on how to fix it, but I think that the problem lies in how we teach our kids. Our kids are programmed to retain facts, then spit them out onto a test, then erase the facts to make room for the next set of facts. As Wanda Sykes said in her most recent stand up act, our kids' brains are like Etcha-A-Sketches. We write all over them, then after the test, they shake their heads like an Etch-A-Sketch toy and the info is gone. Until we figure out how to teach them differently, the cheating won't stop. But like I said, I can't offer any suggestions, but to me, that is the problem. I see it every day with my own kid. He's becomming a memorization robot. Memorize, spit it out onto paper, erase and repeat. That is what the majority of his classes are and that's what the majority of my classes were.
