Re: cheating on army tests

[aburke5054@aol.com]

Cheating in one place does not excuse cheating in another, although I'm 
sure someone will cite the Army case as another example of the 
inexorable operation of "Campbell's Law."

The Army gives 200,000 tesst per year, apparently under relatively 
unsupervised conditions.  Public education gives many tens of millions 
of test per year.  Cheating should be zero in both environments and 
neither should tolerate it.

It appears that cheating on tests used in the army for promotion may 
well have
been more extensive than pretty much anything leveled against people 
who work in
schools. Monty
