cheating at school




hey you out there, have you ever cheater on a test or something at school? I know i haven't, any way, i know the consequences of cheating because so many kids in my classes over the years have cheated. the consequences can be dire if you cheat ,you can fail the test you cheated on, you could get detentions, you can get suspended, or even be expelled. some people cheat by writing the answers to the questions on their hands and just copying the answers from their hands on to the test or quiz they are taking. another way people can cheat at school is by plagiarizing, when you plagiarize you steal other peoples work without giving them credit for it or if they don't give you permission to use their work and you use it anyway. i personally am not a fan of plagiarizing because when you plagiarize you could be sued and some people will just copy entire reports and what not of the Internet just to get the easy way out of having to actually do something. i don't think its fair when people copy other peoples work and say its theirs because the people who plagiarized could get paid a lot of money for stealing and i think that is wrong. i know how it feels to have my work plagiarized because in halo 3 i had made a fantastic map in forge and i liked playing on it with my friends and after about 3 months after i finished making the map i found it on bungie favorites and it said the maker of the map was one of my friend's friends that i had talked to before and so i got angry and i asked my friends to file a complaint on him and he got banned for a couple days and after that he had apologised for stealing my map. but back to cheating at school another way people cheat at school is when they have a project that they didn't do and they erase someones name off of a good project and write their own. you can also cheat at school by being good at sports and being involved in a bunch of school sport teams and having the teacher pass you just so you can play sports for the school and win a championship for your school. this would not be fair because the people who don't play sports are then graded harder than the people playing sports and the people that play sports are the ones that are more likely to get scholarships to good schools.
