I have been grading essays like a crazy person today... I have noticed that students think I am an idiot and that I will not catch on to cheating. I had a student turn in at least two papers that were word for word copied off of the internet. This makes me mad and frustrated. He is a smart kid who should now get withdrawal failed from my class with one day left. That is dumb!
However, this got me thinking about how often we cheat in life... imitate someone we aren't because we want to be liked. Act like the "popular kids" to make friends. We are often not true to ourselves or the calling of the cross to get ahead in life. And that is dumb too.
