> It's unfortunate that there are so many cultures where widespread cheating is condoned, if not outright encouraged. They may be able to fool their teachers, but how much comfort will that be when the bridges are collapsing, the pipelines are exploding, the wind turbines are breaking apart, and all the other activities that ultimately report to reality and not some human superior who can be bluffed become impossible to continue? You're so right. But let me add some other feelings, so as not to sound like a racist or that British universities are some "great white hope" to overseas students. This had little to do with them being Indian. It's a generational thing. In all cultures we teach young people to game systems. Right from the get go they learn that if they can buy powerful tools, systems and access then that's fair game. They're just doing what they've been rewarded for their whole lives and want to make a better life. To them it's not cheating. I am the anachronistic throwback here I think.
