The modern world rolls on -- a new way to cheat, a new way to catch the cheaters:
Indiana colleges -- and even some high schools -- have reached the end of the semester armed against a surge of student cyber-cheaters who would rather copy, paste and plagiarize than spend all night on a term paper.
Educators have spent thousands of dollars on firms that catch copycats. They have tweaked teaching strategies, stepped up penalties and asked students to sign codes of conduct.
These kids today, I tell you . . . when I was in school, cheaters had to sit next to the smart kids and hope they didn't cover the answers. If they don't get caught before they get good at it, by the way, the cut-and-pasters can grow up to be bloggers.
