Crossing The Gaza strip boarder in Egypt has just opened from a 4 year block on the Strip. It was over crowded with the population of 1.5 million and has brought much joy and relief to the Palestian people. Without the boarded now blocking them, the people are able to travel in and out the city more.

      The strip was first blocked off to Islamic militant after the Hamas took over Gaza in June 2007. Rules with passing cargo, which was bound with Gaza, now haves harsher rules to go by and have different mind sets.

     The Naval blockade was supposed to make the Hama people weak. The economic status then over populated Gaza; which is why it was so crowded with people.

      At 9p.m lots of Gaza’s people crowded together on Saturday waiting for the first bus to cross the border. While people were waiting and while busses were leaving there were two Egyptian officers guarding with an Egyptian flag on the boarders gates.

      Many of Gaza’s people were happy to finally be able to go over the border. People such as Rami Arafat, a 52 year old man who was one of the early buses pick up and drop-off's is finally leaving Gaza and doing something. He got a flight of Cairo for his daughter’s wedding.
    
     Rami states, "All we need is to travel like humans, be treated with dignity, and feel like any other citizens of the world who can travel in and out freely."

      A different man, Khaled Halaweh stated that he was going to Egypt to study for his Master’s Degree at Alexandria University. He was going to study engineering.

      Khaled says, "The closure did not affect only the travel of passengers or the flowing of goods. Our brains and our thoughts were under blockade." Khaled Halaweh has not been able to leave Gaza for 7 years.

     Everyday tons of Palestinians are going to be able to cross the border. The transition was smooth and not crazy. One by one person, the Hamas police got the passengers to make their travel documents official.

     The new system has helped 340 people cross from Gaza to Egypt in 5 1/2 hours. Nobody was told to go back unless they wanted to, the people had the will to go back, or stay. When they found out there was a departure long ago which didn’t accept passengers that were on a "blacklist". After this, a set of 150 more people were sent out of Gaza.

     The boarder being open is going to make life easier for the Gaza people and they will be able to experience new ways of life. Gaza’s boarder being open will open up many new journeys for the people.

cheating found with high achievers

     .  In This article, "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception “written by Richard Perez-Pena, are about more students cheating, and students who are doing well in school with their grades are to. Many high achieving schools are found cheating more.

    Some schools such as Harvard, the Air Force Academy and the Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan. A majority of students don’t complete standards.

     Experts state that cheating is getting easier because more teachers aren’t giving out consequences. They say that there is no way to possibly know what they’re doing and they can’t stop their classes for an individual student every time.

Cheating is found more now in high achieving students. This shows signs that they are most likely being pressured and get nervous, so they cheat. In high achieving a school that is cheating does not have a good back round.

     With the help of internet, cheating has become easier for students, it’s easier to communicate answers through friend, and plagiarize work. Experts and teachers say that the internet has student’s attitudes. The internet is giving students a world of faster and easier downloading, searching, and copy and pasting work. This has all caused the students to lack in the qualities of authorship and ownership.

     A survey was taken at the University of Yale in 2010. It was taken by the undergraduates of the university. The survey stated that most of the students that attended the university had never read the school's policy on academic honesty. A majority of them were not clear on how to share or "recycle" their work with each other.

     Cheating is not accepted and should have more punishments. If a student is cheating they are not learning. They are wasting your time and losing their education. No teacher should have to deal with that.
