I'm not surprised that honors high school students cheat, but I wonder
whether it's really due to an over-inflated sense of self-worth, or
actually an underdeveloped sense of self-worth and ability. If they
really thought they had the ability to do the work, and were proud of
their own capabilities, why would they be cheating?
