to classmate s. Silent!, a crin
sheet passes along a row.
This is a fateful hour in the
classroom . .
It's Widespread
In recent interviews with 6K"
high school youngsters. 42 per
rent of the boys and 31 per cent
nf the girls admitted they some
times cheat on examinations.
Many of them felt no qualms.
Forty-four per cent of the boys
and 35 per rent of the girla main
tained cheating is justified on oc
casion. About the same number
said they sometimes use crib
sheets.
"What's so serious?" asked a
16-year-old Atlanta boy. "Some
Umea I get blocked on an exam,
and all 1 need is just one word
to unplug my memory."
A 17-year-old Chicago girl said,
"I don't really feel I've done any
thing wrong. Everybody has let
his eye flick over another'i paper
at one time or another."
"If you ran get away with It.
you're smart." said a 17-year-old
Dallas girl. "If you get caught,
you're stupid."
Would this attitude be as ras-

In the same vein, a It-year-
old Miami youngster said, "All
we have are testa, tests and more
tests. It s a regular scoreboard
and we're supposed to chalk up
good marks. Well if that's all they
want, 1 11 get it."
It is evident, then, that the
problem of cheating dredges up
the more basic issues of what the
student is really working for,
where the schools are placing
their emphasis, and the codes of
conduct practiced by the parents.
"If there wasn't as much em
phasis on grades," said an Is-year-old
boy from New Bruns
wick, N J , "there wouldn't be as i
much cheating.
