Cheating in School

If one student get caught cheating it leads them into getting themselves punished. Now more or less that same student doesn't learn from being punished or caught and decides to do it again. Some punishments from cheating one is if you want to get into the college you prepared for but you can't. Others might try and go for getting into a professional foot ball team but aren't allowed to now. Students can also be placed in academic probation. "Some schools impose harsh disciplinary penalties on students who cheat, particularly if the cheating was very egregious or the student has been caught cheating before" (2019). 

Teachers kick in on a way to prevent punishments from happening. They try and create a friendly environment for their students. Getting to know their interests starting out, notice who's struggling the most to try and help. Teachers can also make their own test, give students different tests and none of the are  the same.  Separating seats, asking students to put everything away and for them to only bring a pencil. "Princeton professors agreed not to proctor exams in exchange for students pledging not to cheat and report to anyone who even looked like they were trying to gain an unfair advantage"(New jersey 2019). 

My position in this is I think that punishments should be a thing just not that they should be as harsh as people have them. I think it would depend on how much they cheat, if it's constant or it only happens one time. I feel like it should mainly be a detention or sitting in the front of the class room. I don't think that they should be harsher.
