“Three Main Reasons Of Cheating As Academic Dishonesty”
When I was a senior at Miami Spring Senior High School in Miami, Florida I had a mean teacher named Mr. Paul Fielder, better known as "Happy Paul". Happy Paul Fielder taught hard courses in Chemistry and Physics. He gave low grades to his students. Many students needed high grades to get into the college of their choices. Students who were hoping to be at the top of their class, or who needed good grades to be admitted into college, avoided taking classes taught by Happy Paul. He gave very hard tests. Almost all of us received no better than 50’s or 60’s on the tests. In other words, we were failing. If we failed, we would not be able to go to college at all, much less into the college of our choice. However, there was one kid in the class who always got 100 on every physics test. His name was Charles Pryor. This guy was not regarded as one of the smartest kids in the school but he always was getting 100 on every test while the rest of us were getting no more than 60. So we finally figured out how he did it. There were three physics classes, taught in periods 4, 5 and 6. Charles Pryor was in sixth period. Happy Paul gave the same tests to all three periods. Therefore, during period 5 Charles Pryor could meet with a student from period 4 who had just taken the test, find out what the questions were and look up the answers before period 6. As a result, he knew all the question before take the test.
Many of you are asking, why some students cheat on exams? This story showed me that Charles Pryor cheated because the teacher gave low grades to his students. In my opinion, there are three main reasons why some students cheat on exams.
A lot of people think that the best ways to pass their tests are by cheating. One of the three main reasons which lead students to cheat on a test is that they want to get good grades. Most of students are under pressure from their family, their friends, and their teachers. They
