- Respect for intellectual property (copyright, etc.)
- Respect for intellectual integrity (respect truth)
- Respect for each other (cause no harm)
- Respect for the information infrastructure
What matters: These are all very important but when i read these i still feel like there is more to be said. But they are all still very important. Some many people feel like they dont have to do any work when they have access to copying someone elses work and then just call it their own. That is what the first bullet is about. The second says intellectual integrity. This basically means nto cheating. There are alot of people who cheat by looking at someone elses answer on a test or assignment. There are also some people who will just give them the answer which is even worse. Dave is right when he says that this is a big problem and needs to be fixed. The next point says respect for each other which is a problem in every school. Some students feel like fighting is the only way to work things out. This is a huge problem that will probably never be fixed no matter how strict the school is. The last statement doesnt seem that important. I think that the first three are good enough.
How it matters to me: These are all huge problems in school districts and i think that it is good that dave warlick is bringing attention to them because some schools tend to forget about them. My school doesnt have alot of problems with physical fighting, but it does have problems with students cheating off each other and with students stealing information out of books and calling it their own or not showing a works cited. But teachers cant be watching students constantly so cheating is done by students sometimes. This problem probably wont ever be fixed because it seems impossable to control the students to not do that.
