Parents may worry that you are not honest and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time.Karen McCalley, an English teacher in New Jersey, says, “It is always disappointing when students cheat because it makes me think the student doesnt believe in himself. I expect students to do their very best and I am sad when they dont put their best foot forward.”Cheaters cheat themselves in a way because they dont make an honest try to learn as much as they can.

School leaders say its the way of the future. Cushing Academy used to have 20,000 books in its library. But during the summer, this small Massachusetts high school began to use e-books instead of printed (印刷的)books. Why? The school wanted to put its attention on 21st -century learning. Few students were using library books to do their school tasks. Most did their research online. Without a printed collection to care for, librarians help students use the online collection in new and better ways. They can also work with teachers to bring technology(科技) into the classroom, although students still enjoy books. So far, its been a success. The kids are reading more. Can your backpack store 1,500 books? An e-reader can. Most e-readers are pencil-thin and weigh less than a pound. They can download(下载) an e-book in 60 seconds. Dont understand the meaning of a word? Click(单击) on it to get the meaning. Is the word too small? An e-reader can adjust the size请预览后下载！ E-readers arent cheap, but it costs the school just $5 or $10 to download an e-book.
