In Poland, separation of church and state doesn’t exist, and priests teach religion courses in publicly funded schools.
Today I caught a student writing cheat notes on his arm for a quiz he was having in religion class!
“You realize that when you take a test and you cheat, it’s the same as lying, right?” I asked him.
“How so?”
“Well, when you take a test, aren’t you implicitly saying that you’re taking the information only from your own knowledge?” I asked.
“I guess,” he muttered.
“Then cheating is a form of lying,” I concluded.
A thoughtful moment. “So?”
So, indeed.
