At my College we have to take some I.D. with us to exams as they think that people might get other people to take the exam for them. :confused:

At the school my g/f used to go to, they had video cameras in every room to monitor the lessons, which I found stupid beyond belief.

Yes, some people do cheat, but I think that's bound to happen when we have an economic system built upon excessive self interest and thus a social system which is built around this value; putting plasters over the cracks in the damn wont keep the water in.

I think the thing that's happening at iiholly's school is just a way of trying to say "we're watching you so don't try it" through trying to force conformity through moral obligation ("I wont cheat as I have to sign saying I didn't cheat, if I sign it then it must be the truth").

Hidden curriculum ftw.
