X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Status: O Content-Length: 797 Lines: 17 I think the more pressure the students are under and the more a welfare payment or other incentive is based on performance or attendance, the more cheating goes on. Fairly regularly, I have Calworks students cheat on attendance (signing in and out) because they really don't want to be there and have to be to receive their money. Recently I also had a student cheat by stealing an answer key and copying it. She was a young girl (under 18) about to time out of foster care and getting a lot of pressure from her foster mom to see the work she was doing. I think I see it a lot less frequently in ABE /GED classes though, than I did in the high school diploma class or the college where I worked since the stakes (credits) were higher.
