Video footage was taken of some of their parents climbing the walls of where they were testing in order to hand them cheat sheets. Some of the student’s friends were also involved.
Today, there were more than 1.4 million students who were taking the tests. Teachers and state department officials caught hundreds of students bringing in various forms of cheat sheets.
Altogether, there were more than 600 students expelled for cheating. Tests were cancelled in four other districts once the massive cheating scandal was reported. Any student caught cheating could be punished with jail, pay a fine, or not allowed to retake the test for another three years.
Comments: This is certainly a shame for any nation, city, or community. It is even hard to believe that it could happen at all. Apparently the teaching of morals isn’t given much attention in class - or in the home. Such wide scale cheating is almost unimaginable!
God’s Word plainly tells us that believers in Christ are to teach their children daily the Word of God. Our teaching is to be both verbal and by example.
Why was this commanded? So that generations to come might fear God and serve Him properly, as we are told in Psalm 78:5-7: “For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.”
We are seeing a similar thing happening in America. Parents failing to set a good example leads to children who mock the law and laugh at God-given authority. Our children today are being instructed by corrupt friends, Hollywood, and foolish guidance often found on the Internet. No wonder there is crime in our streets! Where are the godly parents?
