RE: The hidden epidemic in schools: Cheating



Cheating has always been and always will be here. Students know how much of a drag tests and exams are and not all students study properly to face these things. When worst comes to worst, students turn to cheating in order to achieve the mark they wanted to have. It's definitely not a good thing to do because cheating is surely wrong and comes with consequences.

Cheating is only a success when you don't get caught, and that's what people try to do. Watching the video of the coke bottle turned into a cheat sheet was pure genius but i dare not to attempt a thing like that ever. Consequences come with cheating and you have to deal with it as a cheater. In school you can get detention, suspended or even expelled. i see cheating as a sense of desperation and rebellious kind of act.

Mary Ward is a great school but no matter what school you are in there is definitely some sort of cheating in the school. Cheating is just everywhere and it may not be fair but its true. As a student of Mary Ward, there are a lot of ways students can be able to cheat. This self-direct learning school can come with a lot of cheating because units can definitely just be copied and pasted and sent handed in by any students.

Anything can be avoided just like cheating. Just study and be a good student. Things like this are easier said than done but it all comes down to yourself. No matter how much time passes by cheating will always be there and if you do get caught there's no one else to blame than yourself.

  1. You're right, in the end it comes down to your work ethic, and if you study enough and pay attention, cheating can be easily avioded.
