Editorials on Kansas cheating epidemic across schools
Across Kansas the cheating problem grows with incidents at Piper High School in Wyandotte County and Barton County Community College. A Piper teacher failed 28 biology sophomores for plagiarism, then the board reversed to partial credit, prompting resignations and questions about open meetings. Barton reports up to 30 cheating cases in finals, including test theft and downloading term papers. The pieces urge clear anti cheating policies, teacher support, and consequences.

David Shribman notes the historical parallels with 1812 and the need to wait and watch.
