Internet Cheating Scandal Shakes Japan Universities

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/world/asia/02japan.html?ref=education

This article's main idea was about how a number of students that were taking an entrance exam at Kyoto Univerity in Japan were cought cheating.  The students must have taken photos of the questions or wrote them on the internet to get answers.  The cheaters did this while the testing was going on.  The question was brought up about how are Univeristies and schools going to monitor this type of cheating.  I feel that this isn't just an issue that is happening in Univerities but is happen in High Schools and even younger grade levels.  This type of cheating is going to continue with the advancement of technology and the growing number of students in classrooms.  It is hard for teachers to monitor everything by themselves.  I hope that in the soon future we can come up with ways that will be effective that will eliminate cheating in schools.
