There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their own filthiness...O how lofty are their eyes!

I wrote this saying down many years ago now when I became aware of such a situation. Please excuse my 'poetic' mode of expression. For those who would automatically blame parents for their children's faults, I also pointed out that children do not always respect and hearken to their parents:

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

These are just some of the many proverbs that I collected. I hope some day that you will read them all thoughtfully and learn.

Short of having timed, individual tests with blinders, and no backpacks in the room... there is no way to prevent cheating.

I'll leave it up to time. Time comes back to all those who really didn't learn the material. They will fail finals, they will cheat on girl/boyfriends, they will steal and be arrested.

I just can't teach morals to your kids ON TOP of teaching the massive load of curriculum I'm required to teach.

Teach your kids to be honest. Help a teacher out!
