It’s Not cheating – It’s Collaborating: Lessons from a 6th Grade Classroom

Last week I spent the evening pretending to be a sixth grader. And boy have things changed! I was at my daughter’s Open House Night for middle school. And things aren’t just different than elementary school – they're different from when I was in high school. (Okay – I guess that shouldn't be a surprise, but stick with me!)

For starters, I wasn’t crammed into a seat made for someone half my size. No, in fact most of the kids were eye-level or taller. And the material was, well, not so elementary. After the teacher outlined the science curriculum, one mom leaned over and asked me, “what is homeostasis?”  I pretended I didn’t want to be rude by talking during the lecture, so I Googled it on my phone and handed it to her. Thank God for good cellular connections! (The definition is hotlinked just in case you find yourself in a similar situation.)

But the thing that really struck me as different from any sixth grade class I ever took – was this idea of true collaboration. My daughter’s Language Arts teacher explained how each day the students are supposed to write in their journals.  They can write about anything. Seriously – my daughter wrote about waffles one day. But even still, you will get that one kid who whines they have nothing to write about.  So he told us, I tell them, “look at your neighbor’s paper – I bet they’ve got a sentence you can use.”  At that point, everyone chuckled.  But he was serious.  “Go ahead. Take their sentence and I bet you can even make it better.”

  Okay, when I was in school – that was considered cheating.  And I could tell by the other parents’ expressions, they were probably thinking the same thing.  

  But then I thought about what I did at work that afternoon. I edited a blog. One of my colleagues wrote a really interesting piece for our Social Business Insights blog, but the opening paragraph needed to be reworked, the story needed to be shortened and I moved some paragraphs around. In the end, his name was on the blog – but it was OUR work. And it was a better story because of it.

  The truth is, even if you prefer to work alone, most projects benefit from another viewpoint. And where better to learn this than in Language Arts? Adding value to something is not cheating, as long as you acknowledge your source – or inspiration.

  But as we headed off to visit the Math teacher, I reminded my daughter that not every class or teacher adopts that philosophy. Copying math answers on a test may still considered plain old cheating.
