cheating found with high achievers


     .  In This article, "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception “written by Richard Perez-Pena, are about more students cheating, and students who are doing well in school with their grades are to. Many high achieving schools are found cheating more.
    Some schools such as Harvard, the Air Force Academy and the Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan. A majority of students don’t complete standards.
     Experts state that cheating is getting easier because more teachers aren’t giving out consequences. They say that there is no way to possibly know what they’re doing and they can’t stop their classes for an individual student every time.

Cheating is found more now in high achieving students. This shows signs that they are most likely being pressured and get nervous, so they cheat. In high achieving a school that is cheating does not have a good back round.
     With the help of internet, cheating has become easier for students, it’s easier to communicate answers through friend, and plagiarize work. Experts and teachers say that the internet has student’s attitudes. The internet is giving students a world of faster and easier downloading, searching, and copy and pasting work. This has all caused the students to lack in the qualities of authorship and ownership.
     A survey was taken at the University of Yale in 2010. It was taken by the undergraduates of the university. The survey stated that most of the students that attended the university had never read the school's policy on academic honesty. A majority of them were not clear on how to share or "recycle" their work with each other.
     Cheating is not accepted and should have more punishments. If a student is cheating they are not learning. They are wasting your time and losing their education. No teacher should have to deal with that.
