Education Is The Key For Students Widespread Cheating

Cheating used to be considered an unmentionable sin. However, in this day and age, it has become more common and somewhat of a daily occurrence. Cheating is more widespread today than in the past.

By using rules that combat discrimination schools are acknowledging that fact that it happens, and conveying the message that discrimination will not be tolerated.

Ever since the birth of the No Child Left Behind Act, and testing being brought into schools, there has been uproar coming from everyone; teachers, faculty, parents, and students. Because of the rebellion from these group of people, their actions have changed schools testing requirements across the country. A crime was committed by faculty at a Georgia school, “where 35 teachers, administrators, and even a former superintendent changed students' test scores” (Vogt, 2013). Though this form of rebellion against the tests seems new and outlandish, this is not the first cheating scandal, “In the past four academic years, cheating on test score results has been confirmed in 37 states and Washington, D. C.” (Vogt, 2013). Though this is the first

The teachers should have the ability to teach diversity in their class lessons, at least once. In history, they can talk about the wars outside of America to show that back then and still now, people with different diversity doesn't always agree on everything.

Later, when their grade came out we all were initially surprised when they got a F for the class. But, in a way it was a lesson for all of us on how ethical the U.S educational system is and more importantly, on how we weren’t kids anymore and had a responsibility to follow since our parents are investing a lot of money on us so we can get an education from the U.S.
