Hi Deb – You’re correct – I don’t believe that the types of dishonesty can be separated – I believe that the lesson to be learned is that dishonesty of all kinds is wrong.  The idea of reinforcing proper ethics and character-building may seem archaic, but those lessons have to be learned somewhere and we can’t assume that all parents will take the time to teach them in depth or teach properly if they don't know the difference themselves.  I don’t have kids in school, but I’d love to know how teachers view this.  Do they believe that schools should play a part in instilling a sense of right and wrong in youngsters, or do they think it’s a job best left to parents?  This is truly food for thought and I'm sure the discussion will continue.  Thank you again for reminding us how important this is.
