Abstract
Philip J. Cook: W. C. Fields, acting in the movie You Can't Cheat an Honest Man, opines, "If a thing is worth winning, it's worth cheating for."27 As school systems across the country have raised the stakes associated with standardized testing, cheating on these tests has become a tempting option for some teachers and administrators.
