Ya I can totally see that happening to me. Blatant cheating, as if we don't care if the student fakes it. Strange. I have students who don't do homework because , "you don't really check it, so why should I do it?" Because it doesn't matter whether or not I care!! It matters whether or not you know the material. Well, we will have things to learn as teachers. Namely, how to instill a pride ( or at least desire) to do one's own work, regardless of the teacher's attitude. I often remind them on day one, "It doesn't offend me if you don't do your homework, so no need to feel sorry to me if you didn't do it. However, you should feel an anxiety in that you have not done what you need to do to learn the material. The test and quizzes are coming, are you ready??"
