Can we stop kids using the Internet to cheat?

Can we stop kids using the Internet to cheat?

More than 50% of teachers believe a quarter of the work handed into them by sixth-form students is copied from the Internet, according to the ATL union. Teachers say some work still has web adverts in it, where it has been cut and pasted direct from a website, while other pupils hand in identical coursework.

    waste of time

    2 years after your education it's meaningless women drop their careers to pursue a family and men well are just as prone to do the same thing the churn is immense

    The problem is the system not the students.

    They should all be given different questions.

    Its not just children in school that do this I know of a Dr who thought he was far too important to write his own course work and paid someone else to do it when taking a further education course at a leading clinic in his field in London and walked away with the cretificate to say he had completed the course even though the medical institute issuing the document were fully aware of the situation. This man is now allowed to practice procedures on patients. This type of cheating should be stamped on from the top. It devalues any qualification and is totally unfair to the people who work hard for it and hand in their own work.

    You can monitor what your children do at home but at school they dont monitor.They have filters but kids know how to take them off.My daughter was shown by a teacher how to remove the filter.ENOUGH SAID
