Loading ...Ryerson Facebook flap forces students to abandon homework and use the site for the waste of time it was originally meant to be
So first-year computer engineering student Chris Avenir, who created an online group to cheat (er, discuss school assignments) with his fellow classmates, didn’t get expelled after all, forcing legions of “Save Chris” Facebook group creators to hastily scrap their plans and Avenir to add an integrity course to his curriculum (Lesson No. 1: First year engineering is for getting pie-faced at keg parties, nerd). Now we can all go back to conducting more high-value activities on the social networking site. Like playing Scrabulous.

Well congrats for not being expelled…
I understand the teacher didn’t want kids doing homework assignments together, but I still think that is wrong in itself. Isn’t the purpose of higher education to collaborate and learn? See what happens if you limit the interactivity of peers at a high-level research university…instantly it becomes not to research-oriented or as successful a place to learn as before.
Shouldn’t the teacher be reprimanded for hindering the ability of fertile and free-thinking academic minds to collaborate and learn and progress the ways in which they best see fit?
Tell the world what you think…you know where I stand.
