Scout's Honor

 Cheating. It's an ugly word, with ugly implications. Yet, it is the most common transgression (look it up) among high school and college students. This is not limited to academic lives--personal lives as well suffer as a result of cheating.

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the word "cheated?"

How serious of a problem do you think cheating (the academic kind) is among high school students?

Have you ever cheated in school--whether it was on a test, a paper or homework? (be honest--I'm not going to tell on you)

Do you think if a person cheats in school, he or she is bound to do it again in college and maybe even later on in life--on taxes, in business etc?

If there were an honor code in Oakcrest--a real one, like the ones they have in college--do you think you would be more or less likely to follow it?  Why or why not?
