Cheating
No one disagrees that the cheating is bad habit even the cheater will admit that. The students inherit that bad habit among them. The students can cheat in university, school, or any other places. The teachers should observe the students during the tests, and there should be a strict punishment for cheater to stop this bad habit. I think the main three reasons for cheating in schools or universities are most students don't have enough time, the students want to get high grade, and it is very easy for them to cheat.
The first reason for cheating is the students do not have enough time. Most students get back from university or school to home late, so they do not have time to study or do their homework, therefore they cheat, and also they have a lot of other things to do with studying. For example, students want to watch TV, do exercise, and cook because our life is not just study and do homework. Furthermore, the teachers give the students a lot of homework to do; they don't have time, so they limit their time by cheating and finish their homework quickly. In addition, many students have part-time job, and some of them work 4 hours a day and that a long time especially for students because they have to study and work at the same time. For example, If student study in university for 7 hours and the same student has a part-time job, he will not have time to do his homework or study for exam, so he will resort to cheat instead of do it by himself.
The second reason is the students want to get high grade. They want to get a high grade, and they want to finish their education, and they don't want to repeat the same level two times because they will money, so they want to pass to next level and they don't worry about their future because that might effect on their job in future. For example, when they apply for job, 2 some jobs need to take a test before they work, so if they

    Cheating used to be considered an unmentionable sin. However, in this day and age, it has become more common and somewhat of a daily occurrence. Cheating is more widespread today than in the past. According to the article titled Education: The New Morality, cheating has not been an issue of values, but simply one of practicality. This shows that many view cheating as a mere occurrence and something that can often be skipped over. The reason cheating has become such a pervasive movement is because many students tend to rationalize their cheating behavior. A common rationalization that many students use is, " That 's the only way I 'll get anywhere in life." Many students also tend to incorporate reasons, such as parental pressures, the aim to be the best, and the lack of time, with their dishonest behavior.…

    Students across America are developing new ways of cheating. They use their cell phones, pda’s, friends, and notebooks to obtain answers. This is a ridiculous way to learn because it is unfair to the majority of the students that actually go home and study. In some schools teachers approve of certain cheating methods. Regardless of the case cheating is wrong and should be banned from all schools nation wide.…

    First of all, kids will copy off other students in order to complete their work on time. They will be rewarded for something that doesn’t benefit them. Cheating doesn’t help students remember the topic, because they are just copying it down, and not actually practicing it, which is the whole point of homework in the first place. Secondly, students will start to cheat on homework because as they get older all of the pressure to succeed grows, they need to help a friend who is also struggling, or they are just so confused because the topic didn’t stick with them when they got home. This shows that kids will start to cheat because they don’t understand the topic and there’s a lot of pressure to get it all done. The fact that kids feel the need to actually cheat is really bad, because cheating can result in very harsh punishments. Another example is Jennifer O’Donnell from the website Verywell says, “It's possible that a child cheats simply because he or she doesn't understand the subject matter, and is afraid to ask for help or admit confusion. These kids may embarrass easily, and they may cheat simply because they don't want to draw attention to themselves for failing to comprehend the material.” A lot of kids feel scared to turn in their homework the next day because it’s all wrong, and they’ll think that the teacher will think that they are dumb, even if they’re…

    In our societies today we always face the stress of being better. I believe academic cheating is a response to that stress. Ideally, the study environment should be designed according to the student’s individual capabilities and strengths. However, as Marilyn French (1985:387) once put it into words “Only extraordinary education is concerned with learning; most is concerned with achieving: and for young minds, these two are very nearly opposite.”.…

    What I have observed about cheating in my school is that there is not a lot because we are very small compared to most high schools. We are like a family so it is easy to tell if someone cheated by copying a paper from someone else or took it off the internet. It is always wrong to cheat but that never completely stops anyone from doing it.…

    Cheating on school work is never justifiable. Students are responsible for their own work, and it is unfair to cheat in any form. Teachers grade students on their own academic ability and if a student is covertly or openly cheating that is considered infringement of being a student. Being a student requires personal interpretation, and analysis. Copying someone else’s work is disadvantageous. If cheating becomes a regular practice to someone it can be harmful to their future. Plagiarism is a major form of cheating that is distinctly forbidden. If students are not accountable for their own work, then they should be punished for it.…
