Hundreds Expelled, Many Arrested, For Cheating In India's School Exams

Etherwalk writes Sources conflict, but it looks like as many as 300 people have been arrested for cheating in the Indian state of Bihar after the Hindustan Times published images of dozens of men climbing the walls of a test center to pass answers inside. 500-700+ students were expelled and police had been bribed to look the other way. Xinhau's version of the story omits any reference to police bribery, while The ABC's omits the fact that police fired guns into the air.

    You can cheat on the Olympiads. North Korea was caught cheating on the International Mathematical Olympiad twice.

    My kids compete in the Math Olympiad, and I helped proctor the test for their school. There was about 60 students, and only one other parent present. Cheating would have been trivial. I could have easily slipped the answers to my kid, or to several kids. I didn't because I didn't know that America's honor was being threatened by NK. I wasn't even aware that NK participated. I will be ready next year.

    Honestly, all I need to do is add a bad Chinese accent to my text-to-speech engine and your grammatically horrible diatribe would be complete.
    You live in USA? Either you haven't been there long or you didn't pay much attention in English class.

    Given that your language skills have more in common with a cheap eBay seller, I'm going to go with "you DON'T live in the USA" (that's fine, I don't either, but at least I can *admit* the points where my own country is need of vast improvement).

    Now excuse me while I take a lunch break to eat some fly lice....
