SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE -- Like students everywhere during the pandemic, Aguilar, a junior at San Francisco State University, was attending school and taking a test from home under the watchful eye of no one. It would have been easy to Google the answer, and Aguilar admits he was tempted. But he didn’t.
“A little angel on my shoulder said, ‘Look, don’t be lazy. Do the best that you can with what you know,’” he said. He chose option 2 — “the ability to produce a good or service more efficiently than other countries,” which sounded a lot like the other choices but seemed right.
It was.
A Political Science major, Aguilar serves in student government and said the pandemic has led many people to cheat.
“It’s not necessarily malicious,” he said. “My hope would be that universities and K – 12 institutions would look at the conditions that we’re under and make sure we’re not reprimanding students” inappropriately.
