These cheaters are not less intelligient. They have simply learned they don’t have to do the work. They also seem to think they know better than the instructor what needs to be learned. And their sense of entitlement precludes them from learning any information that is heavy on facts, memorization and rules set by someone else which includes all sciences and maths.

So it is not surprising to learn that students lag behind so many other nations in Math & Science.

I give my students every opportunity to earn the points they need to make the grade they desire. But they must rely on themselves. And in the end my students will tell you that they earned their B or A or C.
