Have we forgotten our childhood???
That's what kids do, they cheat and deceive their parents, teachers etc. and
we remain hopeful that they don't exaggerate/get caught, or that they grow
out of it at some point.
They do it at university too...and it is a badge of honor according to them
so we might as well accept it as such. I tell them, if you cheated and I
didn't find out, good for you, but don't count on it - and if I catch
you.... G-d forbid...
There are plenty of researchers showing that the lying phase/tendency in
childhood predicts an especially bright and creative child!
Yet, it is our job to "catch" them...
Good luck

blue tooth to copy! (didn't quite get that one!) He went on to use of an
i-pod where all the material can be recorded and at one's fingertips
(ear-tips?) when needed. Now, how many of you have had kids request to
listen to "music" while they take their exams???!!!

women, now in her 20s, describe the old-fashioned cheating methods such as
writing the answers on the wrist under a watch strap, on the inside of one's
fingers and....on the inner thighs (wearing a mini-skirt, I gathered)!!!!
