First, "students from non-religious independent schools had the lowest cheating rate, 47 percent, compared to 63 percent of students attending religious schools."

So do students of religious schools cheat more on tests, or lie less on polls?

And now an online translation FAIL:

母ガスを分解せずに検出できる新ガス分析法
"My mother can detect gases without degrading the new gas analysis method."

I'll overlook the fact that you're selling your mother and that she has rather unusual properties, but can I really stick your mother's head inside a molecular-beam epitaxy chamber?

But then (assuming I found out) I would despise you. You wouldn't want that.

that'd be sad. you were one of three teachers i liked in high school. the other two weren't around long enough for you to meet. one left after a year (probably for the same reasons you left), and the other didn't even last a year... i think she was fired for "misconduct," but that might have been a rumor...

you would have been surprised if you knew the girls who did cheat. they were all seemingly innocent hard workers...

then there was margot and me. we once cheated off of each other on a pre-calc exam and got a 24%. we couldn't even come up with half a brain for that test :\

karma- thou art a cruel mistress.

Oh, I have my suspicions, but I was seldom able to catch them red-handed. But you're right, I'm sure I could still be unpleasantly surprised by what I didn't know or suspect.
