Cheaters

In "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With high Achievers No Exception" written by: Richard Perez-Pena, it says main focus is that kids are cheating. They are arguing that the kids are doing it so the dont fall behind or get a low score. They are also saying that they are not excluding the high achievers. Like for instance in the article it says "There have always been struggling students who cheat to survive." Also it says that "A survey of yale undergraduates by the yale daily news showed that most had never read the school's policy on academic honesty," which is basicly saying that the students are not paying attention to the rules. I feel that it is completely neccesary to do this under certain circumstances, like if you miss a certain amount of class assignments or papers. But it is uneccesary to cheat just because you feel that it will help you achieve a higher score. There can also be other ways of catching back up like going to a professor for help. I was falling behind but I got help from a student and a few teachers but never did I cheat. So all in all cheating is no good because it may help you score higher but you are not learning a thing.
