New trends at school

A conversation among five teenagers, overheard at a cafe today:

“She told us not to cheat during the test. Everyone googled, but we couldn’t find the answers on Google, and the highest grade in class was 6 [out of 10].” Smartphones surely brought new ways of cheating in tests, and teachers need to adapt accordingly. In many ways this trend can inspire teachers to rely less on simple tests that ask pupils to pour out the facts. Some educators are already offering free tips.
