Cheating in School Students have been cheating for many of years. Cheating is a major problem in schools everywhere. Almost every single student has cheated in some way or will have cheated. Cheating in school can cause lack of learning. Cheating can also affect other students and other students can also cause a student to cheat.
Cheating most occur in students who lack an effort in studying. Most students have adapted to cheating. Some students see cheating as good grades with less work involved. Cheating is seen as taking the easy way out and not working hard. Without others to depend on, cheaters will have no hope on passing a class. A student may get a good grade, but they gain nothing form cheating. On the other hand, there are students that deceive some cheaters. For example, a student may give a cheater the wrong answers on a test on purpose. By putting their grade in another student’s hands, that student can do whatever they want with the cheater’s grade. In addition, that person can decide whether to actually help the cheater or not. That is why it is best for a student to do their own work and obtain their own knowledge. If a student never gains any knowledge, he or she will never succeed in life.
Students who cheat can ruin other student's grades as well. There are those students who actually study and can complete their assignments by themselves. Those are the students who are asked by others to cheat. A student may constantly ask another student to help them cheat or promise them something in reward. I have had a similar situation in Spanish class. One of my friends asked me during a test to help them. I decided to go ahead and give them a little help. As a result, I got caught by my teacher. I ended up with zero as a test grade. In addition, my grades were not as high as I wanted. Others students may be forced into doing others work. There are also students who decline on
