2. Technological innovations can be a great help to students, but they can also be used for hi-tech
cheating. The latter practice is now running rampant and it has become an epidemic: more and
more students nowadays use information technology to breach rules on academic honesty
without them being aware of their violations. To put a stop to this, some suggestions are listed
in the succeeding sentences. First, schools can create policies banning the use of phones
during examinations. They can also create programs that will develop students' information
literacy skills. To ensure that plagiarism is minimized at the very least, teachers can instruct
their students to subject their work to online plagiarism trackers before submitting them.

3. Discriminating parents always have to make the difficult task of choosing between a public and
private school for their children. These two schools share the same goal of educating students
and developing them holistically. Aside from this, they are open to anyone who wishes to apply
for admission. There is no remarkable difference as well in terms of the academic performance
of students. However, public and private schools vary in some ways. While public schools are
funded by the government, private schools get their funding from tuition, endowments, and
donations from private corporations. The class size is different as well since public schools
generally have a larger number of students per room. They also differ as to who dictates the
schedule and school calendar. In private schools, it is the school board that decides while in
public schools, it is the government education agency. Choosing between private and public
schools is a challenging task, but what parents should consider is the performance of an
individual school and not its category.
