Education News: Cheating is an Inevitable Result of the System



Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez of Education news takes a look at the current "banking" system of education and observes its contribution to the drive to cheat. Below is an excerpt from the full article, which you can read at the link below.

My point in relating this personal trajectory is to reflect that if I had only been asked, at each stage of my schooling, to memorize information and spit it back out to a teacher (or worse, a robo-grader) on standardized tests, I don’t know that I would have chosen to undertake the hard work of earning a doctorate and becoming a professor myself.
I would have had a very different idea of what education was all about.
