1.Each day thousands of students arrive at school to expand their

knowledge, and prepare for the future. Out of those thousands, hundreds

have an important test that day. Some students are well prepared for that

test, however, others may have no idea they even had a test. This

proposes a difficult question : will I cheat? All students know “Do not

cheat”. This answer is the first one that comes to their brains since

primary school, but they still do not take it seriously.

2. During my thirteen years of schooling, I have seen firsthand that a

lot students lean on cheating to pass a class. I have also witnessed teachers

letting their students cheat by leaving up information on the board, or

saying “As long as I don’t see anything.” This creates bad study habits and

being unprepared for college. Unfortunately, many students don’t even think

about whether to cheat or not, the obvious answer to them is “yes”; while

others contemplate for minutes or even hours. But, why do students cheat?

There are numerous reasons. Plenty of students might have simply forgot,

others were not prepared. Most students, especially nowadays are addicted

to internet and internet games, that they forget everything related to

school and their education

3.The effects of cheating are disatrous.They range from failing the

exam to expulsion from school.
