The students played roles such as ''The Film Producer," ''The Starving Artist," and were asked questions such as ''Has anyone ever copied your homework? How did this make you feel?"
Do they have one kid dress up in a suit, steal everyone's money, and drive away in a Porsche? Because we need a Jack Valenti.
I'd have come right back at them with "Has any other record label ever ripped off your music and sold it as their own without giving you credit or royalties? How did this make you feel":P
Hey, people copy my homework plenty of times, with or without my knowledge. Do I care? As long as they know enough to make sure it isn't identical, and actually get something out of it, I'm fine with that.
This is true as long as your school is non-competitive (i.e., no class rank or curve).
I actually did a pseudo-mathematical model of this [sabnetwork.com], using Prisoner's Dilemma [wolfram.com]. Summary: It either benefits you or doesn't affect you to let someone copy your work at a noncompetitive school. It can hurt you at a competitive school, though.
True actually. We had a problem with GPA inflation, where some kids would come in with extra credits, and end up having GPAs of something like 6 on a 4 scale. Its all honor's classes, but still, someone like me who came in with nothing and gets straight A's can get a GPA in the high 4s, and still be in the bottom third of the class. So they eliminated class rank. And now the focus is on learning, not having to worry about other people's inflated ranks.

They had a Jack Valenti, but the Film Producer rolled a critical hit with his +1 camera, and no cleric was willing to help Jack.
At least that is what I think of when I hear "role-playing"
