Hope her former profs weren't listening
The scene: KMPH's "Great Day" Friday morning show desk with hosts Kopi Sotiropulos and Kim Stephens chatting with a staffer about news of the day.
The story: Ingenious ways that college students are using technology to cheat, including using PhotoShop to create substitute soft-drink bottle labels with important test data instead of the ingredients. (Who knew?)
The confession: After talking about the way that today's college students cheat, the staffer (whose name we will kindly not print in case she's up for a network job anytime soon and her potential bosses are Googling her) admits: "We were having a discussion about that in the newsroom. Some of us were recalling the blue books or Scantrons. You write on them very very, very lightly and then you go back and erase. I'm not necessarily proud of that. I did it once. Science is not my strength, folks."
The expression on Kim's face: aghast. Isn't live TV sometimes so, well, honest?
