such attitudes among students can develop from the notion that all of education can be distilled into performance on a test -- which today's college students have absorbed from years of schooling under No Child Left Behind -- and not that education is a process in which one grapples with difficult material.

Exactly so. If the focus of education is moved away from testing regurgitated factoids and toward building genuine skills of critical analysis and effective communication, the apparent 'gap' in understanding of what cheating is will surely go away.

I'd love to know what you Dystopians think about this.

Institutional education puts far too much pressure on students to do well in tests. This I believe forces students to cheat because if you do not perform well in this one form of evaluation you are clearly not educated well enough, not trying hard enough or just plain dumb. I doubt there are many instances outside of institutional education where you would need to memorize a number of facts for a small period of time where your very future is at stake. To me the only cheating is plagarism. If you're taking a standardized test and you don't know the answer to question 60 but the student next to you does how would it hurt anyone to share that answer? You're learning the answer to question 60. It's the same knowledge you'll learn when you get the test back and realize the answer to 60 was A not B. Again though, when will this scenario occur outside of schooling?
