From the April 12, 2015, Chicago Tribune "10 things you might not know about Cheaters" by Mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer, masters of discovery, diggers of books.
Tax time is sometimes cheating time in America. Recently, Atlanta educators were convicted of test-rigging and then there was the U.S. Little League title thing.
Here are some other cheats:
1. The SPANISH BASKETBALL team in the 2000 Paralympics won the gold by fielding a team of supposedly mentally handicapped players. They outscored opponents by an average of 36 points a game, but only two of its 12 players actually were mentally handicapped.
2. YOUNG PEOPLE are conflicted by cheating A recent study showed that 99% of 23,000 respondents agreed that it was important to have good character. 93% were satisfied with their own character. But more than half admitted to cheating on a test and nearly 3/4 said they had copied homework.
And get this, nearly 1/3 said they weren't completely honest about responding to the survey.
