In many of my classes I don’t worry about students cheating on quizzes. None of them know enough to copy from. I had a different experience in a more advanced class. I told a student to turn around and stop trying to copy the work of the guy behind him. The one with the answers told me that I didn’t need to worry. He could not copy the answers because they were written in cursive.
Who would have thought. Maybe the way to encrypt documents has been right in front of us all the time.
Cursive, the secret language.

Funny and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTwo hundred years ago everyone who was considered educated could read Greek and Latin to some degree. Now they can't even read English. It is called progress.

I heard PUSD [Pasadena Unified Skull Demons] is going to stop teaching cursive. If so, that student is quite something.
ReplyDeleteHe probably learned it at home.
