* Re “Dot-Com Failures Tax Workers’ Consciences,” March 21: I hope that none of my high school math students read Margee Fagelson’s comment that “it’s only illegal if you get caught.” I teach my 11th-graders that it is wrong to cheat even if you are never caught.

Fagelson has forgotten that a truly honest person maintains his or her integrity even when no one else will ever know. Of course, it’s unfortunate that she has to suffer because of someone else’s lack of responsibility. That, however, does not relieve her of her tax responsibility to our greater society.
