Cheating in school

By Archie Setio

Nowadays, there are many students that are getting more and more lazy. They don’t have enough time to study or do homework because they have many things to do, but they want to get high grades or are demanded to get high grades. So, they cheat. 

There are some forms of cheating that are used by students. Cheating can be done by copying something from someone, by asking or collaborating with friends and also by preparing answers on a piece of paper that can’t be seen by the teacher. 

There are some reasons why students cheat. Some students were demanded by their parents or teacher to get a high score, but their abilities are not enough to achieve them, in order to achieve it they cheat. 

Is cheating a good idea? No, cheating is not a good idea, students will have a custom in telling a lie. Besides that, our main objective in school is to be able to gain as much knowledge as we can. Cheating results in you not being able to gain that knowledge.

We should reduce cheating by telling students that the aim of study is not to get high grades but to gain knowledge and skills for themselves in the future. Nowadays, schools tend to make sure that their students get a good score in all the subjects without seeing that their students have different skills.
