My greatest fury is not really towards students who cheat either, though I am angry at and disappointed in them. It’s not that I don’t hold them responsible — college-aged students are adults and should be treated as such — it’s just that most of them don’t have an enormous amount of experience. They don’t know what they’re losing when they destroy their ability to read, to concentrate, and to write. No, what makes me angry is a society that has so few values, such an attenuated sense of human worth and flourishing, that it jumps to sell off the brains and potential of its young people for — what? A technological fad? A culture-wide obsession with keeping up with the most asinine of the Joneses?
