Cheaters will get theres eventually, because if they’re cheating right now in high school and find nothing wrong with it, they will probably cheat in college and just in life in general. I think kids cheat in high school because the punishments just aren’t that intimidating. More punitive measures might help with the problem, because at my school you barely get a slap on the wrist. I think it’s that way at a lot of high schools. In the real world or even in college the punishments will be worse. Whether they will eventually get caught is up in the air, but just remember you won’t have your mommy and daddy there to stick up for you.

Everyone in my high schools ask what they’re losing by cheating? How can you go wrong, you don’t have to study and you get the grades, right? You’re losing knowledge. I know that sounds cheesy, but cheaters miss out. I think the problem with our society is we don’t value knowledge or just learning for the sake of learning. It’s all about your grades, gpa, and test scores. What about what books you’ve read and what’s going on in the world? GAHHH I just needed to rant.
