Prepping To Cheat

Today’s Inquirer has an article about the problems at St. Joe’s Prep in the past school year, which include several resignations or teachers and administrative officials, a cheating scandal and 100 percent of graduating seniors going to college.

High school students, cheating! Administration members, not getting along! Well, I never!

The cheating scandal, though, might’ve just proven that the students were not smart enough to avoid detection, or cheat on something that deserves to be cheated on:

In January, the school - whose education mission includes nurturing students’ spiritual and moral development - was shaken by a cheating scandal involving a religion mid-term test.

Uhm, hello. It’s a religion exam in Catholic high school. Your answers are pretty much “Jesus” and “Virgin Mary” and “That’s a sin” — and, since it’s a Jesuit school, “education” — and you’ll get at least an 85. Man. Cheat on an AP test or in math or physics or something, at least.
