Cheating

Student cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.

Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some students still do cheating.  There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or examination, such as looking at other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks, make hand signals or go to the rest rooms to get the answers from their friends. 

In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime.  It is a sort of taking something illegally.  This crime causes negative results to the students.  Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity.  Cheating creates dependence.  They weaken their self confidence.  Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper.  If this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and mind. 

Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem.  School board and administration should go hand in hand to overcome this matter.  Honesty must be put in school’s vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.

What will the school do to eliminate students cheating?

• Create a good vision.

• Select honest students.

• Make harsh punishment to the cheater.

• Make the students confident.

• Administer the school affair.
