/ April 20, 2021My students has searched and found the answer keys to these readings. I wish there was a way the teacher’s could sign in for the content and keep the cheaters from having the honest kids miss out on these readings. What has our world gone to. This is so sad that my students would copy answers word for word and expect to get a 100% as well as their parents. We are growing a nation of untruth and cheaters.
Mr. Morton
/ May 7, 2021Yeah, that is pretty frustrating.
It’s tough to keep the content free and open while preventing students from finding the answers.
One thing that might help is downloading the .RTF file and editing the titles of the assignments.
A persistent student will still be able to find the answers, but that may make it a little harder.
Also, remember, cheaters are only cheating themselves!
And the system and everyone else too, but mainly themselves!
Best wishes!
