WHY DO
THE STUDENTS CHEAT?
Cheating can be defined as to be used
prohibited resources, to be done the homework by someone else or to
be answered questions using book, telephone or anyone else’s paper in
the exam. The cheating causes to misjudge the students for the teacher. The
grades taken thanks to the cheating do not reflect the success of the students.
There are many reasons to copy for the students. Why the students cheat on the
exams depends on these factors: the education based on memorization, the
attitudes of the teachers, the fear of flunk-inability to skip class- and the
best grade pressure of families.
The first reason to cheat
for the students is education system based on memorization. Today’s education
system includes many lectures, most of them require memorization to keep in
mind. The teachers have difficulty in teaching these lessons to the students.
Both the teachers and the students are aware of the obligation of
memorization for these lessons. However, some students do not have
the ability of memorization despite many efforts. The necessity of cheating
comes out for the students precisely in this situation. The students have no
choice but to pass class and have weak memory apply to the cheating.
The second reason to cheat
for the students is the attitudes of the teachers on the success of the
students. The success of the students affects the relation between their
teachers. The students want to be appreciated by taking consider the grades of
exams by their teachers. If the students become unsuccessful on the exams, they
think that they fall from favour. The students who want to keep good
relation with their teachers apply to cheating wrongly. If the teachers rely on
to be successful of their students in spite of bad marks and give enough interest
to them, they try to do their task by themselves without copying.
The third reason to
cheat for the students is the fear of flunk. Every student wants to be good at
their lessons without giving enough effort. They try to be on the same level
with their hardworking friends. When their effort becomes insufficient and the
fear of being back from their friends comes out, the students apply to the
cheating to skip their class. They feel to be disdained by their
friends and teachers when they imagine that they cannot skip the class.
The final reason to
cheat for the students is the best grade pressure of families. The parents want
their children to be the best in school from the first day of
school to the last day. They provide their children what they need
for school success. As the students want to please their parents for their
sacrifice, they do their best. Unfortunately, the cheating is one of them. The
parents should accept their children as they are, and they should not
pressurize their children about good mark. They should teach them to be honest
from the beginning.
In conclusion,
education system, the attitudes of the teachers, the fear of flunk and the
family pressure are some factors which direct the students to the cheating.
Actually, there is one thing that the reasons and the results of these factors
depend on this. What is this? This is the sense of conscience gotten by the
morality. As long as this concept exists in the students, there is not any
effect of other reasons to cheat. To keep alive this concept; the parents and
the teachers should work in cooperation and accomplish for the students
