“Cheating is powerfully instructive and personally harmful. Cheating to get out of doing school work or to get ahead teaches you to treat yourself like a sneak, a liar, and a thief”. How do you understand this quote? Do you agree? Maybe disagree? Have you ever cheated at school? Is cheating OK? Why do pupils cheat? What should we do about it?  These are the questions you have to answer today😊I. Cannot. Wait.

  1. I agree with this quote.
    I guess cheating is very tempting, that’s why people cheat so often. And I’m not an exception. I guess I could find a hundred excuses, but it’s still a lie. It’s about many things. For instance, getting grades that are not deserved or pretending to be a perfect student. I don’t know why people are trying to be perfect. No one was, is or will be perfect. Isn’t it better to be real? I know it’s not that easy, especially now, but I am a kid that believes in existence of fairness and honesty. Even if I made it up in my head.
    Actually, I think we can do nothing with cheating. It depends on a person and how he/she feels about it. It’s about being honest with yourself. I believe that we should treat people the way we want to be treated. So if you cheat, be ready to be cheated.

  3. Today I'll be talk about problem of cheating. I think that everyone who is cheating has a reason. Maybe he hasn't any time, or he was busy with family and other fuss. But it doesn't mean that he shouldn't be punished. If pupil doesn't give enough time to lesson preparation, his mark should be lower. Teachers should control it. Personally I believe in the karma(luck). If you ever cheat, you will be blamed for what you didn't do.

    Summing up I think that if at one moment was lucky, then the second will be the opposite.

    1. What about idiom, I certainly agree. If you want good mark you should learn and prepare for the lesson. Every deceiver sets a task. Maybe he wants to be better than he is. Or for example he tries to catch up him classmates. So you shouldn't cheat on the lessons because knowledge you need, not the teacher.

    3. I was cheating in school just when I haven't got enough time to prepare. It's so horrible and I'm so ashamed.

      We are all human, and we have a lot of problems on all fronts. But if pupil doesn't study heartily, teacher should put the appropriate grade.

      I think that cheating is so terribly. I understand that I need knowledge, not а teacher. It's so important for u yourself. If u want learn and develop, the results are coming.

  4. I totally agree with this statement. The way I understand it when a pupil cheats he or she makes the wrong image of him or herself and also it can be dangerous for those who surround us.

    Let me give you a simple example. If someone wants to become a doctor he or she has to learn every word in a book before he or she becomes a decent doctor. Now imagine a situation when some "doctor" cheats his way through all the exams. Everyone will think "Wow. He's smart and he's a good doctor", but when a real situation comes where this "doctor" will have to save lives he will be able to do exactly nothing.

    If you ask me whether I cheated or not, I can sadly say yes, but not because I want to look super smart or something like this. No, of course not. The problem is, I'm a little bit lazy, so sometimes I prefer to watch a TV rather than do my homework. But in my opinion, not all the students are like me. I think there are also those who are afraid to admit that they are not smart enough or they have no opportunity to study so the only way they have left to do is cheating. But I don't think that everything is lost - there is always a way out of every situation and the only way I see it is parents talking to their children every single day, trying to make kids understand why it's important to be who you really are and not to be a liar. Besides, I think it's also crucial for parents to change the way they speak to their kids about grades. I don't think it's a good idea for parents and teachers to compare children and pupils with each other.

    1. It’s not OK, because you are just making a good grade, without learning the material which can come in handy later. When you cheat, you just deprive yourself from learning, not someone else.

    2. So, can I hope that you won't deprive yorself from learning, forget about cheating and start learning all the subjects really hard:)))???

  5. I agree with the quote.
    Cheating is bad, of course, there are a lot of excuses for those who do. But this isn’t fair not only in comparison with those people who are trying, but also with themselves. Everyone has the right to make a mistake, but when it becomes a habit, then it has a detrimental effect.
    I think: that if you cheating, then with those subject which then will not be needed in life or in the future.
    How to deal with cheating?
    I don’t know, everyone is dialing with his conscience or bribes her with empty reasons. Everyone should be aware of their actions and understand what this means for them in the future. Why do pupils cheat?
    For the get a good rating at school and among friends or simply because of laziness to learn something ...

    2. Unfortunately, I could not answer your comment about "cheating at school", something with the site, possibly ...
      Here is my answer:

      I meant that when you cheating all the time you stop memorizing information. When I tried to cheated , but it was poorly and I stopped doing it. It was because either I forgot to learn something, or it was too lazy. But it seems to me that if everyone cheats it will not honestly become gloomy with teachers and classmates.

  6. Cheating isn't a good thing that people do. But it isn't really baaaad thing, because I think if people cheating they absolutely understand what they do, and if they will have problems after cheated, it will be only their problems.
    To be honest, I'm like all people sometimes can cheat. I do it rarely, but i do it. Just only if I not prepared for the test because I'm kind of lazy😅 or I didn't have opportunity. Okay, in these situations I can cheat something.. But I understand after that I need spent more time to learn everything I cheated.
    But..
    Usually students cheating and don't do anything. They only cheating and don't learn least something. These people I don't understand because they are stupid(sorry, but it's true). Maybe they want do nothing and be soo smart, and take exams very good..I don't know why people do this.
    They can't understand that study is only for them(!) and no one else(!).
    In these situations I can call them "thief or liar".
    What about idiom?
    Oh, I don't know.. On the one hand I agree, on the other hand no..
    Everyone decides what to do and what not; what is right and what is wrong. Therefore, I believe that even if I answer that I agree, it still will not change anything, and many, like they have written off, will continue..

    3. Okay, as for me cheating is really bad and i write off rarely. I think if you want good mark or good knoweledge you must do everything fair. Even if now you think that you don't need to learn anything and you can safely write off and that everything will be decided by itself so, then this is not so. Because if finally you decide to study, it will be very difficult, 'cause all material is connected. So I think it is better to learn everything before the test and write it honestly, rather than spend time writing cheat sheets and eventually, know nothing.
      But modern teens don't think so....but it is their problems..

  7. • I think every student dealt with cheating. Just someone often uses it and someone less. Everyone does it consciously. Maybe not everyone thinks about the consequences, perhaps not everyone understands that in life knowledge that may be useful to them is simply written off.
    • I think everyone has that particular school subject for which the student writes off, perhaps there are several. But there are also objects on which you don’t even want to do this, you want to learn. Because you understand that you need it.
    • As for the idiom, to be honest, I do not quite agree. On the one hand, yes, cheating not correct. But on the other hand, why not? For example: why learn biology if I study as a programmer ?! No, I'm not saying that biology or another school subject is bad. Just someone is not interested ... I understand that for common development. Only there are teachers who are forced to study their subject and at the same time understand that this student is worth nothing ... WHAT FOR? I do not understand this.
    • I can say one thing, do not do this often. And if you are already doing this, you need to know exactly why, when and who to cheat. And we need to think about the future!

  8. Cheating at school. Today I will tell about my personal experience in cheating. I started cheat from the sixth grade. I began to devote less time to lessons, test preparation and stuff. But I did not want to get bad grades, and it so happened that I began to cheated. This affected my assessments. Later I began to fail the tests. And after that, my "Easy Life" period ended. But in the second half of the eighth grade, I finally changed my mind. I took as my priority a few lessons to which I will make more efforts than the rest. Today, I began to write off less and devote more time to studying. Because I was tired of constantly living with the thoughts “That’s okay, tomorrow I’ll will cheat someone.”

  9. I totaly agree with the expression.

    First of all, a person becomes unnecessary in relation to himself.

    Why do people try to cheat?

    First, because they want to look smart or to be better than anyone. But with the help of their own subtleties, the mind, the physical forces can not achive sucssess.

    Secondly, in the former part because of the fact that "Why I should do a lot of work, if I can do much less". These thoughts always appear in a person before he prepares for the exam.
    There is a saying that the most funny adventures begin to sound "I know the shorter way". Usually, after this person becomes even more trouble..

    The third reason that people are deceiving is that they do not understand that or another subject or science. The convenience of cheating at school is that you do not load yourself and you still get good marks.
    But disadvantages are quite numerous as well: the person hurts himself in the future. If you cheating off few years, in the future it will be very difficult to make up for. In addition, teachers are also
    intelligent people who see what the student can...

    I'm always guided by the expression "Write down that, what you can tell"

    3. I'm totaly understand the quote and agree with it. Cheating teaches us a lot of things, and at the same time hurts us. Yes, sometimes I'm cheating at school, but not usualy. For example: if I know that in the future I need English, why don't start learning it at these moment? Sometimes I'm cheating on the math or other dificult subjects, and I don't see nothing wrong with that. It's dificult to be a good student when every day you must(!!!) doing different homework!

    5. "...

  10. I agree with that. But not completely. (Intrigue :)) Well, cheating is a global problem of education. First of all, because when cheating - you do not get knowledge. A lot of things depend on it. Example: you can become a doctor and you will not have knowledge, and you are responsible for people's lives. Can I say me like a thief or a crook? My answer is no. I think this is too strong an accusation. A thief destroys human lives, he can steal a lot of the money you need, and a scammer can take EVERYTHING from you. Of course, it’s bad cheating - I do not argue, but I can’t say myself with a thief. Why do students cheating? There may be many reasons. Firstly, because it's just too lazy to learn something. Also, family problems, or not have a time. What do teachers with it? I think, try to explain to students that it’s bad. To control them is the best solution on my opinion

    3. I still totally don't agree with this. Theft - it’s a one of the form crime. of course, it’s stealing - it’s bad, I agree. But cheating and theft - common, it’s two difference things. I can steal whatever in random man and broke him life. or I can just cheating essay or presentation for good point.

    4. Have I ever cheated at the school? yes, and I think in school(exactly in school) cheated all. someone lost the time and him just must make homework. someone just lazy. someone just knew’t homework. I cheated on math for example. Sometimes I cheated homework of Math. For example English I cheated in 8 class, now I know(tautology) that it’s bad, and already in 9 class I still don’t cheated.

  11. With this quote, I agree to all 99%. I, like many students (pupils), lie and write off, but I do not do it on all subjects, but I do things that I’ve never missed in my life such as (biology, health fundamentals, etc.) and I do it without hesitation about what. And the opinion is not very good because you can write off, write off get an education, go to work and not understand what to do "because you finished everything perfectly: school, institute, and there is nothing here that you do not understand how?"
    For example, you wanted to be a programmer and went to work, and you don’t know anything at all. I think it is stupid to do so, so I write off a little.
    Why are the students cheating? No one knows, maybe to be the best in class(school)

  12. I agree with this quote, except for one that “makes you treat as a thief”, I do not agree with this, because sometimes when you for example did not have time to prepare for the control or did not fully understand the material and you don’t want to get a bad mark, you have to write off . Yes, this is bad, but you are so deceiving the teacher, but sometimes there are such situations that it is necessary not to get a bad grade due to which you can get a low semester or thematic score. And so I agree that you have to pay for a lie and that it is bad to deceive. As to how to deal with this, I think that it’s better not to, because it’s pointless because if a student writes off on a permanent basis, then he is not interested in this subject and he just wants to get an assessment just like that. I hope I understandably expressed my thoughts on this.

  13. The quotation says that cheating affects how you treat yourself as a person - when cheating you threat yourself to be a sneak, a liar or a thief.
    Moreover, this quote is simply insulting, because its author imposes his point of view about people who cheat. That's why I disagree with this quote. In my opinion a normal person won't think ill of himself because he cheated, therefore this quote is far from true. Of course, there have been cases in my life when I cheated, and I think this is normal. Pupils usually cheat because it is a way to make life easier for them and because they lack the motivation to do the task on their own.

  14. It is best not to write off, but to learn because this knowledge can help you in the future. But if you learned the material but did not have time to learn it all, then you can write off, but only what you do not know, only if you learn this material But it is better not to write off, but write as much as you can. Anyway, then in life you can not write off. And knowledge can be useful to you.

  15. I agree that cheating is kind of lying and it's not good, but I have some arguments for cheating. Firstly, there is lessons that some students don't understand and they have nobody who can help them with it. Secondly, there is lessons, that students won't need in future, so they are cheating just to get a good mark.
    I'm cheating just on tests, or homeworks, but not on exams. I just don't see a reason of cheating on exams. Exam is a good way to check your abilities. And you need to know that on entrance exams you can't cheating. So, that's your choice to cheat or not to cheat, but you must understand that knowlege is more important for you than good marks.

  16. Cheating in school is s very intetesting and useful topic to talk about.Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives or acts dishonestly on purpose.So lets talk about cheating in school as we may face cheating in sport and in game also.When a pupil thinks about cheating he thinks about not to get a bad mark.He doesn't think about getting knowledge.
    Pupils cheat by reason of:
    - not having spare time;
    - not havig a desire to learn;
    - being lazy;
    - too many tasks to do;
    Pupil may cheat easily but he cheats himself first of all. He may get a good mark but there is no knowledge in his head.Sometimes I may cheat as well but it happens very seldom after my test I try to do my best in learning this material.So I agree with a statement I was given before.More we cheat more we lie.To prevent cheating pupil should make a plan what he/she must do if he had problems with time managment. And then he will make everything in time.If he is a "coach potato" he should make up a reason shy hd should learn and be prepared for the lesson.

  17. I agree with the quote. Of course deceiving people is very bad. In my opinion we begin to deceive people when we are in a difficult situation. We can cheat at school, at work, in our family and our friends. Obviously deception isn't punished, but it is very unpleasant when you lie in your face. Honestly I sometimes cheated at school for my good estimate. I know that I am wrong, but I have a quote "Life is about survival of the fittest". Lie is bad, but sometimes we have to resort to it. For example, if the child lied once and the teacher didn't notice this, then child deceive to him again and again. So " Cheats never prosper", if we deceive less people will trust us.

  18. Today we often meeting with cheating. we cheating when we forget to learn something or when we have not been taught at all. often we use cheating to get a good grade but it doesn’t allow us to gain knowledge. When we cheating we do not assimilate material.Writing off we can not in further use this information. So I agree with quote that cheating prevents us from developing.

  19. I think cheating is bad, but in some cases it can save you. Writing down the main lessons is idiotic, if you can’t write them off, you can’t turn in the control robot yourself, then DPA. And when you join the university, you’ll have to pass the EIT, and you can’t stop it anymore, you will have to study with tutorsет. But if this lesson, for example, “the basics of health”, which is not the main one and does not carry any useful information, I consider it not bad to write off such a lesson). The main thing is to understand whether you need this information or not.

  20. In the modern world we often see how people try to cheat. And school pupils aren't exception.
    To be honest, sometimes I also try to cheat. But it isn't because I'm lazy. Sometimes I really have no time to prepare for all lessons. If I'm cheating, I really have a reason. But when we speak about pupils who cheat every time and everywhere, it's so bad. I don't know why they cheat often, but I think that it isn't good for them.
    My father is a teacher and when I hear how his pupils try to cheat him, I think that they are really crazy.

  21. Everyone at least once cheating something,for example, a homework, an independent work decision or a control. Most often we write off all the same homework, because we don’t want to get a bad mark. Writing has positive and negative sides. A positive result can be obtained when we make cheat sheets, because we remember a part of the written, well, in the result is a good mark. But there is a negative side. When we cheating, we in the first place deceive not the teacher, but yourselves. But there may be an explanation why they were written off. For example, I stayed on additional classes or went somewhere on important matters and didn’t have time to do homework. In other cases, this is a deception.

  22. I agree that cheating is bad. When students write off, they do not remember anything and do not develop in the right direction. But, nevertheless, many people use this type of deception for their own purposes, and this helps to get a higher score.I am among the people who do it sometimes, I am ashamed of such a deception. Recently, I just learn something that is useful to me in life.

  23. I think, that cheating is good way to get a good mark. There is some advantages, for example while doing cribs you can remember some information. Secondly, cheating it's extreme situation, so adrenaline comes into blood and you realise that you are immortal.
    But, on the other hand, if teacher will see your cheating, you will get a bad mark. You need knowledge, so, when you are cheating, you can lose it.
    Deside what is more important for you and choose the way you will study. Good marks or good knowledge?

  24. In my opinion writing off don't good, but don't bad. When do cases is bad:
    • writing off or plagiarism of works.
    • writing off test on independent.
    Writing off are developing:hearing, vision, attention and speed. When are we writing off, we get adrenaline. "How to stop writing?" - "any"
    Writing off - it was and will be. :)

  25. In my opinion, it's bad to deceive, and write even worse. Because in this way we do not use our knowledge at all. I think that every person tried to write off at least once. Some people like to write off and some do not. If we do not write down, then we will be using the knowledge that has appeared for us all these years. A person who loves to read her then improves on logical thinking, mental activity, and much more. Reader is easier to communicate with people, because it has a large vocabulary of words and sentences. Out of these people grow up the good speakers. They can fluently speak the language. There are also pluses in writing. A person can have a good rating by writing off some sources. I also once wrote but very rarely. I'm sorry, for example, for writing

  26. I think that writing is bad. I am sure that at least once everyone tried to write off. Trying to write off, we just slightly lightened his life, but this is not the case because you can not write off on the control. When writing, we do not assimilate the material that took place at the lesson. And in order not to write off tomorrow at a lesson, I'm going to teach English text and a formula to geometry.
