Honor Code In Hotchkiss In High School
Cheating commonly takes place in schools, Highschool is no exception. I believe an honor code should be introduced in Hotchkiss.

An Honor Code is a great thing to have for students. It is a code where students are expected to not cheat and report others for cheating. It is a great thing to have for students because it holds them up to certain standards and shows what is expected of them. Having an honor code for Hotchkiss would improve the quality and integrity of its students. It isn't just enough having an honor code, it must be maintained and enforced. An honor code that isn't enforced would not be profitable for anyone. It isn't just enough to sign a piece of paper, although it is a good start, it should be enforced with appropriate

    Aggie Code Of Honor

    One thing that I greatly appreciated, when I was deciding which univeristy to attend, was how well Texas A&M expressed the Aggie Code of Honor. "Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do." A very simple saying, but one that is heard and seen all around campus. It is tied to the university as much as the word "Howdy". It is great that this motto of academic integrity is already stiched to Texas A&M because its easier for professors and the university to promote academic integrity. Professors and the university need to continue to explicitly preach the Aggie Code of Honor throughout the semester as a reminder for students. Also one thing that students are not knowlegeable of are the consequences of acting acadebmically dishonest.…

    Honor Code DBQ Essay

    When Senate members asked students how an honor code could be fairly enforce, a majority of them said that there needs to be complete trust between teachers and their pupils, a blatantly unrealistic standard (source B). In actuality, not every student is going to trust all of their teachers, let alone completely. Even with a peer-enforced honor code, it really depends on every students’ tolerance for cheating (source C). In reality, only 8% of students are willing to report a peer for cheating (source E), leaving any peer honor code unenforced and useless. Students, also, are actually more concerned with themselves, rather than the actions of others. Even on the other hand or with looser honor codes, many would refrain from confrontation or reporting for the simple fact of keeping friends and avoiding social…

    Foothills Honor Code

    They cheat either because they feel like they don’t have any other option or because they won’t get caught, but I don’t feel like this problem applies to Foothills Academy. Being such a small school, for a student here it is easier to receive more teacher attention or even peer support that can prevent future cheating better than a public school. Teachers watch their students closer and have higher expectations of conduct. Adding a honor code would only make the students feel out of control and not trusted, which would cause a backlash of bad behavior. In fact, knowing these students all it would do would make them want to rebel against the code. While I’m sure cheating does happen here, a better way to handle it would be to promote an anti-cheating…

    Source F explains the results of a study in which two thirds of high school students reported seeing one or more cases of cheating in the last year. Source F also reveals that “there is growing evidence many students take these habits with them to college.” So, by setting the standard that lying and cheating are wrong early on in life, you can help prepare students and prevent them from forming bad habits. Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” By giving an honor code, the school can ensure that students are being taught moral values. These values can then be used by students both in and out of the…

    Many high schools, colleges, and universities have honor codes or honor systems. These are suppose to stop cheating, stealing, plagiarizing, as well as the consequences of violating the established codes. However, even though students sign honor codes, that doesn't mean that they will stop their behavior. My school, Sheyenne High School, should not establish an honor code, because if a student disobeys the code, they don't have a punishment and wouldn't take honor codes seriously since they don't get caught.…

    Source C backs this with the idea of a negative feedback loop. However they also acknowledge the fact that this loop works both ways. This positive loops leads to an expanding culture of trust and integrity. In a study of two hundred seventy five people, Source E, it showed that only eight percent of the two hundred seventy five people, would report someone if they were cheating. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do but no one really care telling the teacher. No one will stop cheating until they have consequences for their actions.
