According to the survey conducted recently on “What do you think of students’ cheating in examinations” among 500 teenagers in a middle school, nearly 100 percent of the students think that it is wrong to cheat but nearly 60 percent of them have cheated in examinations to some degree. The reasons they listed for their cheating are as follows.
First, in a crazy society like ours, everybody is deeply concerned about our grades. Our parents can ignore anything but our grades. They seldom care about our feelings. If we fail or do not do well in an examination, they feel upset or even angry and we have got to go through a series of unpleasant experiences. So in order not to be scolded or even beaten by our parents, we sometimes cheat to get a good grade, which saves us a lot of trouble and satisfies our parents.
Second, some of us don’t cheat on purpose. We know it is dishonest to cheat and it is wrong, but we [Z-x-x-k.Com]simply can’t help it and do it just out of habit. Besides, we are afraid of being looked down upon by our teachers and classmates if we fail or get low points.
Third, some of us want to get a psychological balance. Since everybody else cheats, why should I not cheat? I study hard and I am honest in examinations but I never get any praise from my teachers or parents just because I get low points. It is not fair.
Do you share these opinions of the students? What’s your opinion about students’ cheating in examinations?
