Students Cheating High Achievers No Eception ?

        Richard Perez researched that a large amount of students are cheating  more each year. Even some of the nations most competitive school such as Stuyvesant Highschool and Harvard have reports of cheating.The cheaters are not just the low-achievers but the high achievers as well .
 
" I dont think there`s any question students have become more competitve under pressure , as a result students tend to excuse more from themselves " said Donald L. Mc.cabe, a studetn Proffesor and lead reasearcher on student cheating.
Studies show that the internet plays a big part in studewnts cheating. It has made cheating easier and the internet is acessable. Proffesers say that when they assign an assightment students are most likely to go online and copy the work of other`s.
The article doesnt just blame the students , it blames the school, teachers and parents for not setting the line striaaght about cheating.
I think that students do cheat alot and no matter if you are a straight A student or a striaght F student they have one thing on there mind and that is to secced no mater what. Parents do put alot of pressure on there children to secced. Schools do that as well. some People think A little cheating will not hurt as long as you dont get caught .
This atricle shows that society tellls people you have to succeed no matter the conseques nor the after math . Does it really matter if students cheast ? Is america really protraying succeeding at any cost ?

  1. Good post Dymond. Make certain you proofread your work before posting. Do you think that America needs to put more emphasis on honesty and less on achievement? 90
