[quote=Anonymous]One very real reason for individual parents to drill down on this with their kids is that cheating is also widespread--and on the upswing--in college, and there a second offense can often lead to expulsion.  Yes, there are situations where it does not, and everyone has plenty of stories about being surrounded by cheating that went uncaught or unpunished.  Some folks will also say that faculty just don't want to throw the book at it for any number of reasons (one being that it is a lot of trouble to go through the whole process).  But there are plenty of professors who are strongly motivated by a sense of fairness for the non-cheaters and a sense of the ethical conduct of their profession.  Make sure that your kids aren't the ones who put faculty in a position where they have to investigate.  I actually call my students' attention to times, places, and ways that it might be tempting to cheat in a given semester, so that they know how not to cheat out of desperation and make better choices about how to plan their work.  (They also know that we are watching, of course, but we should be.  That's part of our job.)[/quote]
