Facebook Cheating

Oh, how scary and disturbing this article is - get this, kid starts Facebook study group for homework, gets caught, and is now in the process of being expelled. Yep, EXPELLED. For starting a Facebook study group, in which, it is important to note, no final solutions were even actually exchanged. If a kid gets expelled for that, then all and any of us who have ever called a friend for homework help or studied in a group together should be scared out of our pants right now. And on a further note, I seriously sometimes puzzle the no-collaboration rule - I mean, it's not how the way things work in the real job world - in the real job world, people collaborate ALL the time. I'm sure even professors even collaborate with one another once in a while, even if it's, you know, just asking someone's opinion on something. Collaboration is how things get done and doing it over Facebook is just our generation taking it to the next step. If anything, this kid should be applauded, not expelled.
