From _The New York Teacher_, March 4, 1996
"What's Wrong with this Picture!"
"Consider two trends from a survey of 3,351 high -achieving high-school
students nationwide.
According to a Who's Who Among American High School Students, the
students think the "decline of moral and social values" is the greatest
crisis confronting the nation, and the number one problem facing teen-agers.
Meanwhile, 76 percent of the students admitted cheating on homework,
and 39 percent said they had cheated on a test. Nearly 9 out of 10 said
cheating was common, few students are caught cheating, and only 5% are
punished."
