What’s wrong with this picture?
You, uh, “teach” algebra by giving each student in your junior high school class a little workbook. They’re supposed to work out the problems in their notebooks and hand in the answers.
Each workbook has a plastic slide on the right-hand half of the page, concealing the answers to the questions. This is where it gets rather silly.
All we had to do was slide the plastic sheet and copy the correct answers into our notebooks. Voila! We all got A’s! Ain’t we smart!
I racked up A’s because I wasn’t strong or mature enough to resist the temptation. This landed me in Advanced Math in high school, where I paid for my sins. End result: I didn’t learn any higher math at all.
Look to the top of this page. That’s a basic algebra problem. I can do them now; but I couldn’t do them in high school, I was hopeless. I learned NOTHING by cheating.
But the “educators” should have foreseen this problem, and planned accordingly. They shouldn’t have made it so easy to cheat.
