Education is the process of imparting and acquiring of knowledge through teaching and learning. It is also considered as the most important bridge of your dreams/ ambition. With this, most of the students find their ways to achieve their vision. Like studying very hard and to be able to obtain high grades they choose to cheat.
Cheating breaks the rule of not only the examination but also in a game or contest to gain an unfair advantage. It is one of the major problem of students when it comes to education. Student’s reasons are: they don’t know the particular answer to a questions in the test, quiz or even homework. To be able for the students not to disappoint their parents or even not to be angry with them they used this strategy. Or even it is a means to a profitable end, a way to be known in class as the number one. It is the only way most of them feel they can stay with games without failing.
There are still explanations behind this. It might be the poor time management/ poor study habits of the students. Some of the students, use lots of time playing with their peers. They forgot their responsibilities in school. There are also cases that it can be a teacher factor. When the irresponsible teachers, instead of staying inside their classroom, they spend their time chatting with their co-teachers. It is easy for the students to cheat because the teacher gave them opportunity to do it.
The failure of the cheaters depends on the classroom management of the teacher. The students who are fully aware that their teacher are aware in the rampant cheating will think twice about having to go on their plan to cheat. They would never take the risk of being caught by a “vigilant and keen” teacher. There should be a punishment with this that should teach them a lesson like getting zero with the test/ quiz and should manifested with their character/ values subject so that he/ she will not do it again.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Once you felt down when you are failing don’t hesitate to do what is right. Just study very hard and pray for the best.
