What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the word "cheated?"
How serious of a problem do you think cheating (the academic kind) is among high school students?
Have you ever cheated in school--whether it was on a test, a paper or homework? (be honest--I'm not going to tell on you)
Do you think if a person cheats in school, he or she is bound to do it again in college and maybe even later on in life--on taxes, in business etc?
If there were an honor code in Oakcrest--a real one, like the ones they have in college--do you think you would be more or less likely to follow it? Why or why not?
There are two types of people in this world. There are cheaters and there are liars. People who cheat are also liars so there are basically only liars. Some just lie on a different degree. If I were to say that I don’t cheat than, I would be considered a liar on a high degree. It is so easy to pass school with the technology that we have. Don’t get me wrong, you can still learn a lot while cheating but, you can also be lazy.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I think about when I hear that someone has been cheated, I automatically think relationships. That’s the kind of cheating that is fucked up. If you commit to a relationship, keep up to the commitment that you’ve made. If you are tired of someone, make it known in a more positive way than posting a picture of you hooking up with another girl. Try sitting down and talking about ending a relationship first.
I think cheating in school isn’t a problem because we are technically do what we have to do. You know, getting that number grade the determines us as people.
When I hear the word "cheated" i automatically think about a relationship. My mind reflects to a cheater in a relationship. Honestly "cheating" in school isn't a big deal to me. It's a huge problem in school however. Everyone does it. I personally don't do it because i don't learn anything that way. Plus I'm smart, and the person I'm copying may not be as smart as I am; and now I'm risking my grade because i was being lazy. The last time I've cheated was last year honestly. If you cheat throughout high school, you're bound to cheat later on in life. Things you do often tend to become habits. If there were a honor code I'd be more likely to follow it because i would.
ReplyDeleteCheating can mean a lot of different things, or have a lot of different meanings and different degrees. for example, cheating on hw. I honestly don't ever think i did a homework assignment with no help from google or other humans. unless its something easy. But if you cheat on like something that could effect other people that's were things can get wrong. Like for example if you're cheating in a relationship that's messed up and that should be taken as a big deal.
ReplyDeleteCheating: A word that makes me cringe and forces the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up. Cheated instantly makes me think of a person not being 100% loyal to their partner, but there are many other forms of cheating. In high school this problem is way to evident that students have thought to think of cheating as the norm. "Did you finish the homework? Well can you send me a picture of it?" is a common conversation that I hear daily now. I don't think that students understand that if you do that in college your kicked out without any consideration. Truthfully, it'd be a lie if I were to say I never cheated. But I have. Every once in awhile, I fall asleep and forget to do my homework and I'll ask a friend for the answers. But I am happy to say the only time I cheated on a test was freshman year. I'll never forget how guilty I felt so I haven't done it since. No I completely disagree that if you do it in high school that you'll do it in life. Right now we're all just stupid kids and we have so much pressure on us to get straight A's that sometimes we forget how insignificant these test scores truly are. It's really not the end of the world to fail one test every once and awhile. If there were an honor code at Oakcrest I'd follow it because it'd be more official and the consequences would be known. People would definitely be more likely to follow it because at Oakcrest students know that if they get caught cheating they'd probably be able to get out of it easily.
ReplyDeleteThe word "cheating" has a lot of meaning behind it. Cheating, in my opinion can be both physical and emotional. Doing something behind your partner's back,and If you have a "secret" friendship with someone of the opposite sex, in my opinion, that's cheating. Obviously, if you're having an form of sex with the opposite sex other than your partner, that's cheating. When I hear the word cheating, I don't also think about relationships. You can also cheat on test, quizzes, homework, etc. yeah i cheated before. A couple times matter fact. probably more then you believe. Everyone that ever cheated, did it again. Most likely still doing it. Cheating to some people is like a addiction. Once you do it once, it's like you can't stop. If you started in elementary school and continued until middle and high school, then your bound to do it in college. How I see things, once you cheat, you will always be a cheater.
ReplyDeleteCheating to me is someone who breaks the trust of another. Whether it be the trust of a supervisor or teacher that expects test takers to do the test correctly, or someone who breaks the trust of a romantic partner. Cheating is kinda of a big deal. Like really. It happens alot and most teachers don't do much against it, only reacting when the cheaters get too lazy (Which just ruins everything for the smart cheaters) Yes. Yes I have. I won't go out of the way to cheat, but if the options available I will. Unlike some cheaters I for one, am smart enough to at least change some answers and rewrite what they wrote so my cheating isn't obvious, copying word for word will only get you caught more easy and make teachers crack down more, and that's no fun. Yeah I think the smart cheaters will continue, mostly because they won't get found out easy and get kicked out of college. I like to think they won't cheat off of taxes or things that will actually get you arrested but then I think of this little metaphor. When a gambler consistently wins at a game and makes money, instead of cashing out and making more money the correct way, they keep gambling more and more, inevitably they'll fail and lose all the money they've gained. You can only cheat for so long before you mess up and get caught doing it. A Honor Code? A Honor Code only works if everyone applies to it. If everyone turns a blind eye to 100$ on the street on the Honor Code of not picking up someone else's money, whats stopping someone from taking it for themselves without being seen? A Code of Honor is good, but it leaves things open for people to abuse the trust others give them.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love to be known as that kid that excels in academics on a constant and fairly represents as a “nerd” I don’t connect the connotation of cheating to academics, like writing answers on one’s hand, but I connect it more to cheating on a romantic relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I do acknowledge the fact that cheating on an academic level is a severe action, but cheating on a relationship I s a more significant thing in my life. Academic level cheating in high school is probably one of the most serious actions that high school students need to fix when eventually going into the real world. I guarantee that every high school student cheats somehow and some way, by either simply looking at any other person’s text or completely coping an idea of another person’s work, I doesn’t matter how big or small the incident is, cheating is cheating. As I say, every high school student c has cheated at least one in their lives, it simply means that they care about their grades, and I’m no acceptation. I haven’t really cheated on a test before, but same can’t be said about quizzes, home works, and essays. When people who cheated in high school will not necessarily mean that they will cheat throughout their lives, but it really matters if they know that they are doing bad and that they know that need to change for the better of themselves. If there were an honor code in oak crest I think kids will cheat regardless. People will already know that cheating is not permitted, telling them it again and telling them to sign to acknowledge it, will not make a difference.
ReplyDeletethere are many situations in life where one is forced to make a decision . you could go down one route knowing its the wrong thing to do but you benefit from your results if you don't get caught, or you can go down the other route knowing it may be longer but you know that its safer and the right thing to do and follow . when i think of cheating i first think of school , we all have our strengths and weaknesses in the class room . my strengths have always been history and the sciences . but when i know i'm failing with my other classes because even studying wont help , i have to result to cheating on a test or homework. when put in such a situation when your grades are on the line and your struggling to keep your head above water you'll do what you can to survive. Now in some cases cheating academically can become an issue , reason being some people just sit back and let others do the work for them . when you haven't even put at least an effort to the subject or the homework and just keep asking a fellow student for them to do the work then that should be reported by that student asked to do ones work . because your making that student do the same assignment twice . plus if both students get caught they are both accountable to the schools laws . all in all if your gonna cheat do it solo . just take a picture and write out the answers yourself instead of the other man .Now people that cheat now wont always cheat in life , it can vary from person to person . It all comes down to the persons morals in the end . and none likes a goody two shoes yet no one likes a all out cheater ether . most people find a happy medium and stick to it. the average person bends the law once in a while and if you have attended any school in your life you a least cheated once .

ReplyDeleteThe first thing that pops into my mind when I hear the word "cheated" is someone cheating on their significant other. I honestly don't think that cheating academic wise is that serious in high school because 99% of us have done it at least once. We either forget, or fall asleep, or something. Cheating shows that you care about your grade but weren't willing to put in the effort. I would be a liar if I sat here and said that I never cheated before. I have cheated before, multiple times. I don't think it makes me a bad student or a bad person. Some teachers seem to care more about grades than actually filling our minds with knowledge. It's ridiculous that they don't even care enough to make sure we known the information before tossing worksheets at us. My phone is always in my hand so it's almost too easy to just type the title of a worksheet onto google and find the answers. I'm not saying I'm proud of being an academic cheater but I'm not really ashamed either because if I don't know the information how do teachers expect me to complete the worksheet? It's partly their fault. I wouldn't have to cheat if they took more time into teaching and less time into passing out worksheets left and right. I care too much about my grades to hand in a blank sheet of paper, I would rather cheat so it's not marked late and then get help afterwards. I don't think that if you cheat in high school that means you'll cheat in life and college, etc. I know for sure that I won't cheat in college because I know the consequences and I'm already where I want to be. In high school you're working endlessly to get to your dream college, so sometimes you'll do whatever it takes to keep your grades up in order to get there. If Oakcrest had an honor code people would definitely be more likely to follow it because they wouldn't want to be kicked out of high school like they would if you cheated in college. High school is supposed to be "the best four years of your life", you wouldn't want to get kicked out over something like cheating on a test or homework. People would take it more seriously and try to do everything on their own to avoid trouble. School from pre-k to college is the building block of what you will make out of your life. Getting kicked out of high school would be like skipping four steps on your way up the steps, tripping over your shoe lace and stumbling to the bottom.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I hear the word “cheated” the first thing that comes into my head is someone being dishonest and or betraying someone else. In school, a large majority of people have cheated and still cheat. Whether it’s on homework or a test they will cheat and not really care about the consequences in the future. I’m going to admit that, yes, I have cheated on homework and tests before but mostly when I was younger. As I’ve gotten older, I see no benefit in cheating other then getting a good grade without studying or actually doing anything. I think cheating is laziness. If I didn’t study for a vocab test in Lang, I took accountability for it and either bombed the test or studied during Italian. I seriously feel gross and guilty when I cheat even off of someone’s homework and I’m not just saying that. I guess I just can’t live with that because I want to stay true to myself and my own work. Cheating will honestly get me no where and it’s basically like digging my own grave for the future. I feel like in high school, cheating isn’t that big of a deal but if you start to do it now, you start to rely on it. It will set you up to be a very dependent person in the future and I feel as though you should want to actually work for what you get. If there were an honor code in Oakcrest I would definitely follow it. I don’t really see the problem with just doing your own work I mean unless you really have no idea what you are doing. It infuriates me how I know that some people have higher GPA’s than me but have just cheated their way to the top. It annoys me because I would have to work twice as hard when they can just float through school. I think if there really was an honor code, people would still find their own ways to cheat and get around the rules.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first hear the word cheated immediately my mind is drawn to relationships. I believe a lot of this can be contributed to the several failed relationships I have been in throughout high school. I have never been "cheated on" ... As far as I know, but i was cheated. Cheated out of the love and security that was promised to me by each of my past companions who each failed to live up to the expectations they put forth. They cheated on me with themselves because that's all they seemed to care about when it came down to it. Cheating comes in many different forms , all of which are ugly and hurtful in their own way.
ReplyDeleteCheating in high school is more than prevalent , it's the norm and anyone who tells you different is full of shit. Cheating has become as normal as lunch time and thanksgiving break, it's just expected. Cheating has become a movement that all high school students follow, whether it be the person who is doing the work and supplying it for the masses or the ones blindly copying , both are equally guilty of cheating. I myself have cheated and continue to cheat , copying homework assignments that I am to lazy to do myself or forget to do. Although no form of cheating is seen as acceptable I think some are worse than others , just like crimes. Copying homework assignments is far less severe than stealing the answers to the final exam and sharing it with your friends. That is very hypocritical and contradictory but so is the world we live in, that's just the way it is. Just as in relationships there are varying levels of cheating , some more forgivable than others all depending upon your own moral compass and values.
Cheating like any other offense such as stealing or lying will continue until you get caught. You ride the high until you come Crashing down. cheating your way through high school and not feeling the consequences or repercussions because you were smart enough or lucky enough not to get caught will lead you to believe that you can cheat your way through life. Until you get caught. Until that one day when the luck runs out and you are face to face with your actions forced to see the error in your ways, you will not change. People only change when they are forced to , when something so traumatic happens that they have no choice to but to redirect their moral compass. So no I don't believe that an Honor code would change much at oak crest people would still cheat , they would just be smarter about how they do it. Because truth be told most people don't care about high school , they go for four years just to get to college where the work really matters. In my opinion high school is one big joke that you wait for your whole child hood then you get here and you see that's it's nothing like the movies or how great people made it seem. That's also another reason why I believe cheating is so prevalent in high school and not college. College is the real deal and as much as we like to believe that high school is where you " grow up " and find yourself truth is we're not much different from the second graders playing in the sand box. In College you are forced to grow up and take responsibility for your actions and if and when that is also true in high school cheating will decrease but until then... It is what it is
I've cheated in many ways before. On tests, games, a race, my ex, etc. I did it to gain an advantage and for the majority of the time I don't get caught. I remember with my ex she hurt me so I decided to hurt her and do it ten times worse. The word doesn't make me think as much but that's because I rarely put thought into anything. My view on school and cheating on your academics is school isn't about learning, it's about passing so why try and study when you can cheat? So nah i wouldn't follow no school code. Maybe if teachers actually tried to teach I would but that's not gonna happen.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the word cheated I think of relationships . it's something everyone has to experience at least once, and normally more than once if you allow it. That kind of cheating, I believe should never be done. But because I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason, & God always has some hand in it, I also believe that sometimes cheating needs to happen. However, when it comes to the academic cheating, I hate it. There's nothing that pisses me off more than working my ass off, studying for a test, just to have some dumbass cheat off of me and basically get credit for my hard work . I always feel this way unless the person that needs it is my best friend or someone like that. Then I don't mind because I have their backs just like they have mine..I'm not going to say I've never cheated academically. But I really don't like if. If Oakcrest had an hour code, I really don't think it would make a difference. At this age were teens and we all just want to follow our own rules. It may change those who think Oakcrest is the school of all schools. But myself, and the people I surround myself with, it most likely would not affect.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the word cheating, i automatically think it pertains to a relationship. Cheating in high schools isn't a big to me in my opinion. I feel that nobody makes a big of a deal about cheating on tests or other things in school. I have cheated on tests in school. I still do... but who doesn't or hasn't cheated in school? When you tell other people about cheating in school, they shrug it off or just laugh and say "yo I did too!"
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have to tone it down with academically cheating, especially when I get to College. The only reason I cheat is because I'm not interested at all in the class. Every class I take isn't worthy of helping me when I get out of high school except for Hospitality. Hospitality is the only class that can help after I graduate so, I really tried in there and never cheated once. If I'm learning about the history of WWII, I'm definitely cheating on the test and every assignment. History is the most boring subject in my opinion. I just can't bring myself to actually try and study- or even listen in class.
In college, I think it'd be A LOT different for me. I'm working towards my profession. I feel like once a person cheats, they're always going to try and get that easy way out. That person might not cheat constantly, but they always will here and there. In high school, it's easier to cheat. I feel like in the real world, you'll always get caught someday and that's what I'll be afraid of. Karma always comes back.
If there was a real code of honor in Oakcrest, I still don't think it'll make a difference. I think I would still cheat in those boring classes. I probably won't follow it and neither would my friends.
The first thing that pops into my head when I think of the word “cheating” I think of homework and tests. Through my high school career I’ve been the person that people ask “Hey can I see your English homework?” or “Hey, can you send me a picture of the math worksheet?” The people that have asked me these questions are the people that only talk to me just for answers. I don’t think it’s a “serious” problem. Now, cheating on the SATs or in college is different, but in high school it’s a joke. I have cheated on a couple of vocabulary test in my days. I basically passed Chemistry by “working together” in groups for our labs and worksheets. Although, I’m usually the person who just surrenders the answer to student who would throw an attitude if I didn’t help them out. Now, because I have cheated on some tests and worksheets doesn’t make me a cheater for the rest of my life. I’m aware of the horror of cheating beyond high school. I cheat now because I can get away with it. If you do get caught in high school a teacher will do is give you a zero on that test. I think if we had a real honor code people wouldn’t cheat as much, but grades would defiantly go down. High schooler’s depend on cheating and taking pictures of answers to pass classes and high school itself.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of cheated the relationship kind is the first thing that pops in my head. Cheating in schools is a big problem, because EVERYONE has cheated at some point, I've cheated, you've cheated, everyone you know has once. I believe that if you cheat once, you are bound to do it again, whether in a day, month or year, it just makes simple meaningless things easier to deal with. If we had an honor code, Cheating would defiantly decline, how much it would decline wouldn't be very significant because it's easy, fast, and free. The three things people like most.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the word cheated my mind immediately jumps to the relationship kind. This may be because I know people who have been cheated on and have been called a cheater by some mean girls. Cheating is a choice and it is a terrifying thing because there is nothing to say if someone will or won’t ever cheat you. Being cheated out of anything is hurtful, deserving something and getting less is awful. When it comes to school, cheating is no different. When someone cheats, they are cheating the rest of those doing the work and getting ahead without the effort it took to get there. There endless secret methods of cheating in school and as technology advances, so will cheating among students of all ages. I’m not the one to use blanket statements but I feel almost everyone has cheated somewhere in their school years and I am definitely part of that. I couldn’t honestly say that I did more than one or two guided readings in apush by myself. In film if I snoozed for part of the movie, I’m not going to take a fall for not handing in that part of the worksheet that goes along with it, I’m going to get it from a friend just like that friend would from me if they missed a worksheet. If someone partakes in higher level cheating and spends time formulating plans to cheat and succeed without the effort, they will continue these behaviors where it is (more?) illegal. If good ole Oakcrest had an honor code, I would most likely follow it. In classes like Bunj and Rock where they make spiels and take time to strongly discourage cheating in their classes, I wouldn’t dare to cheat. Hearing the horror stories of people who have cheated in your class in the past is enough reason to not even think of it. Oakcrest as a whole may not adopt the code as much as certain individual people may but I know if shown enough reason I am totally for not cheating even in silly film if we were to not be given silly worksheets.
ReplyDeleteTo When you first mentioned cheaters, relationships came to mind. That honestly scares me. I've never been cheated on but I can only imagine the way one feels. But in the case of school, full disclosure, I cheat. Sometimes a lot and sometimes a little. More so last year and not much this year. I never cheated in Lang in all honesty. The grade I got was the grade I worked for. i know cheating is a problem but honestly, life is so tough and half the things we learn in school will be forgotten. It's really a bit much to memorize an emense amount of information and then regurgitate it onto a test. Any one can memorize information only to forget all of it soon after. In my past, I've retained more of the information we learned in class when I cheated. I'm not saying it's a good thing, I'm just trying to provide a positive reasoning behind it. The only thing is that cheating is lazy. I do believe that cheating can become habit and that's why I haven't cheated at all this year. And I won't even bother attempting to cheat in college because I didn't pay all that money just to bullshit my way to the finish. In my case, I don't feel bad about cheating when I do it because i know I'm smart as hell and I don't need an A+ in class to tel me that I am. Say there was an honor code in place, no one would follow it. One should not press an honor code to have students not cheat. If the school had "honor" to begin with cheating would not be an issue. From what I've seen, people don't ow honor codes because even though I may see someone is cheating and know it's wrong, I still wouldn't say anything cause I'd feel like an asshole. I feel like it's not my place and then I'd get shit for it from someone. And I also wouldn't do it in ads one day I cheated. The system is a bitch and life is tough, if life gives me a break, however that break may appear (cheating), I'll take it if I feel right. But I know other people would cheat no matter what. I like to think I have somewhat of a conscious. It's just hard to live life with a conscious sometimes. No one is really fair, so why must one always play by the rules? It's sad that this is the way I feel I have to get by but that's just how it is I suppose. Winners gotta screw some people over.... Depending on the circumstances of course. I would cheat if I knew that someone would severely screw me over by cheating. I'd also do it if my life depended on it. Cheating is fine by me but in moderation I suppose.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that pops up in my head when I hear the word cheated is relationship. That's because I been cheated on and it hurts like hell. You giving your all to someone and they're doing you dirty behind your back is so F*ck up. Cheating in school isn't a big deal to me because everyone has done it before. For example, if you forget to do your homework or u don't understand you will text someone in your class and ask them can u send me the homework or use google. Another thing cheating on your academics in school is an about learning it's about passing that course so you can be done with it . No I wouldn't follow no school code. Cheating is bound to happen in school you can only get in trouble if the teacher see you or someone tells on you
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that comes to mind when I think of cheating is cheating in relationships. I've never done it but I do know people that have cheated on their significant others and I know people that have knowing hooked up with people that are already in relationships. No form of cheating in a relationship is okay, at all.
ReplyDeleteThough cheating in school is a very common thing I don't believe that it is a problem. I think that we are supposed to use our resources to complete the work that we are not taught very well and if my resources are google and my peers then I am going to use them to my advantage. I cheat in school all of the time, sorry. I just don't understand the way that some teachers teach things so I desperately go to my friends for their work so I can just get it done and then I try to teach myself later. But that's with homework, I don't typically cheat during test if I don't know something on a test then I leave I'm sorry notes or I give joke answers and hope for some creativity points.
I believe that if a person cheats once then they will do it again. But I'm not saying that if I cheat on homework I'm going to go cheat on my significant other (is that the gateway theory)? I'm just saying that once someone learns how to cheat on work then they will do it again when they are desperate for a grade or for sleep. If oak had an honor code I would most definitely follow it, I'd feel bad if I didn't. That's just who I am.
When I hear the word "cheated" I think of a person not being loyal in a relationship. Cheating is horrible academically and relationship wise. I do not think cheating is a huge problem. If you don't know the answer to a problem, cheating is not bad. Most of the math and or science we learn don't really have to do with the everyday jobs. Which lets it be some what of a "okay" to do it. To be honest I've cheated my way through math all 3 years. I've cheated 2 years in science which is horrible too. If a person cheats in high school then obviously they might have to do it in college because they don't know how to do any of it then. But I think that's okay if its unnoticed. The honor code would not effect me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the word cheating I think about my entire algebra 2 class. We had to take a test but that damn thing was dumb hard. I mean like this test made me and half the class feel retarted and to make things worse we had a substitute and he didn't know anything. So we finally found one person in the class that actually knew what she was doing on this test. So someone took a picture of it and airdropped it to EVERYONE with an iPhone that was in the classroom. I capitalized the word everyone because the substitute had an iPhone and he got the pictures as well. Luckily for everyone he was young and cool and he felt for us because he knew that test was just ridiculous. Cheating in high school is common for everyone. At some point in time you're either gonna be the one asking to look at someone's paper or the one giving the paper. I don't believe that if you cheat in academics then you will cheat in life. It's not a if you do one then you automatically do the other. If someone cheats once then they might do it again if they just so they can get there stuff done. I don't think that people would follow an honor code because people are gonna do what they want to do regardless.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first hear the word cheating I automatically think if relationships (one of my biggest pet peeves) but since we're talking about the other kind, I'm about to go on a whole different rant. I'll be honest I've cheated on multiple things multiple times, all up until last year. Last year something in my brain just clicked, if I don't know the material on a test, then it's my own fault and that should be punishment enough. It's not worth the risk of getting caught and getting even more trouble, I'd rather hand in a test blank and work my ass off for the next one to make up for it. I hate that some of the "smartest" kids in this school are the ones who cheat their way through. I especially hate that they think they're going pre-med. If you can't take a ten word vocal test without looking to the person next to you, sorry but I don't think you'll make it that far in college. And yes, I think they will continue these bad habits into college unless they have a revelation like I did. If there were and honor code in Oakcrest I probably wouldn't have cheated as much in my first couple years here, but I'm sure I still would have done it. As much as anyone says they haven't or wouldn't, there's a time and place where I'm sure at least once, they have.
ReplyDeleteThere's two different types of cheating, on people and on things in life. People cheat on other people is one that comes to mind because it happenes all the time in today's world. Second cheating is cheating on tests, witch is two times easier in today's world because of cell phone people can put the answers on their background and send the answers to people however they want.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the word cheating is doing wrong. I think of it as a whole not just the relationship kind. Cheating is a rampant problem throughout schools across the nation. But it is a way of thinking that is bestowed upon us, a big emphasize is placed on getting good grades and this usually means by any way possible whether good or bad. I've cheated many times in school. I used to cheat on tests and when I didn't pay attention in class or when I generally didn't like the class, to be honest I cheated sometimes just because it's easier than putting in the extra work. If they cheat in school they are at risk to cheat again in college but I don't believe they will after that. For example, cheating on taxes, business, etc., is a different extent of cheating and people understand the severity of it and the repercussions that come with that. If there where an honor code I would follow it because I believe you are nothing if not a man of your word.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the word "cheated" I think of someone who cheated in a relationship. I believe cheating is not so much of a problem in high school compared to what we are teaching kids. We nail the quadratic equation into children's heads, but don't teach them how to calculate tax. We require teenagers to balance chemical equations, but not require teenagers to learn how to balance a check book. Academically cheating is a problem in the ay that when you do cheat, you are cheating yourself. However, what we teach and the substance we pour into the minds of our youth matters more.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have cheated on tests before in order to pass the class. I have cheated myself on what I know even if I already know it. I believe if you start something, and later get really good at it, you will continue it. This is true for when someone learns a new instrument, or plays chess. If you are good at something, you will continue doing that thing. So I do believe if you cheat often in school you will cheat in life. Learn the rules well so you can break them efficiently. People do need to break rules in order to challenge them. However, there is a limit and a standard one does not cross, and that line comes with finances.
If there was an honor code, I would uphold it. Mostly because when I dedicate something to myself like that willingly, I will continue to obey that dedication.
