Cheating is simply an indicator of where the child is. Obviously they don’t have the ability, or even just the interest in learning that subject. Something has been missed. their purpose for learning undercuts all of it. Why do it? If the answer is who cares? well, you have an answer to why someone would do that.

I don’t see the logic in someone cheating on a test or exam. The way I see it, if they can take the time to cheat then they could have taken the time to study. For me, I either study for a test or I don’t.

What a negative article. As an online graduate, my program of study was very rigorous. I worked hard & earned my degree. I earned every point of my 3.9 GPA, without cheating. There are probably just as many cheaters in traditional schools as is online. A person who is a cheater will cheat no matter what.

I have taken online quizes and quizes in the classroom. I have always been tempted to cheat if there is a ‘smarter’ person beside me. But I always tell my self that one day there will be a test that I’ll have to take and I’ll be all alone in the room, and I would fail if I didn’t know what the test ment. So I never cheat on tests.

I’ve taken online quizzes – I can’t see how a person would have the time to cheat. But I guess some can find a way & do.
But cheating only hurts the cheater. I am older – have worked in the real world & have seen college graduates work at a company where people (behind their back) wondered what school they went to – cause that person did not know much of anything.
AND they were fired – 6 months maybe a year later because their diploma meant nothing since they had not learned anything!!
So Beware if you plan to cheat or have already cheated!!!!
Employers are not stupid – they know what you should know as a college graduate.

I’ve cheated before, though hardly ever online…And by hardly, I mean, I would ask someone else how you did another problem, or they’d show me on the homework. I’m not proud of it, but like the author said, they make you take certain classes in high school, and quite frankly, I don’t have the vitality to create 15 different copies of my face with 15 different designs.

When it comes to cheating what is the point of doing so? As a high school student i have come around other students that cheat for me there’s no point of doing. If you cheat there’s no point of doing so.

Most online classes allow you to look in a book or in your notes for quizzes. However, it may be a quiz that has 10 questions you need to answer in 15 minutes. This may sound easy to some of you, and also a way to cheat, but in order to answer these 10 questions within the time limit you need to know your stuff before you take the test. There isn’t time to look everything up, you need to have already done your homework.

relying on cheating to pass a test is a waste of one’s time. You gain nothing other than the ability to steal knowledge from another.
