Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exceptions





         In the article "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exceptions" NYTIMES reporter Richard Perez-Pena talks about the real problems behind students cheating.

       

         This article is about all Schools throughtout the school that have been cheating & why they have been cheating. Evidence has been discovered that the problem with students cheating got worst over the last couple decades. Cheating became more easier and widely tolerated.

         The main problem with cheating is technology. Technology has became a huge part in cheating because student can go on the internet to copy and paste , which has also loosened some ides of authorship. Another way that they can use technology is by texting, the students can share answers with each other through message.

          The students that do cheat, are not really getting anything out of it they are just putting they selves more more & more behind and when they need information in the future they are not going to know whats going on.

           " I dont think there's any question that students have become more competitive, under more pressure, & , as a result, tend to excuse more from themselves and other students, allowed by adults around them. " Professor Donald L. McCabe stated.

           You would think that the students that do not pay attention in class and dont turn anything in would be the students that be mainly cheating, but studies show that more & more students that are cheating are the student that have Honor Roll ( A's & B's).

          Also experts are not just blaming the students for cheating they are also blaming the parents because they have trouble accepting that their kids make mistakes & fail, & when they do, they tend to blame someone else.

         I think that everyone cheats , nobody in the world cant say that not once in they life that they didnt not cheat on something, i know i cant because i cheated when i forgot to answer a question for homework so i copied of another student. I learned my lesson because that person's answer wasnt correct .

          Nobody's perfect, but i do think that cheating is wrong because your not using your brain, your using some else brain.
