>[S]tudents themselves admit it's not easy to cheat using the 
>Internet during an exam. [S]tudents are given a very short period of 
>time in an exam to sift through the mounds of data they can call up 
>on the Internet to answer a single question.

>Training students to master the art of sorting through heaps of 
>information is one of the Education Ministry's main goals in the project.

>"The students have to learn to sort according to the quality of 
>information found on the Internet."

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
