Interesting, perhaps, but new?  Couldn&apos;t one find answers to most of the problems in 4+ languages with a single search?  I understand the argument, to an extent, that the student is simply lowering the barrier to cheating, but isn&apos;t it he really just lowering it from just above the knee to just below the knee?&lt;p&gt;It was easy to cheat 8 years ago (from what I remember), it&apos;s surely easier to cheat now, and it&apos;s certainly not because this one kid stood up for something in which he believes.</text><parent_chain><item><author>michael_dorfman</author><text>I think the gatekeepers of the institution feel that human knowledge is not increased when homework answers are published on the web, rendering the assignments obsolete for future instances of the course.</text></item><item><author>ionfish</author><text>Good for him.
