There are good things about harsher punishments for cheating in school. According to Tim Walker 85 to 90% of people cheat in high school, also 75% of people admit to cheating four or more times in school. ¨ In the mid-1990s, it was around 60 percent. Cheating happens in every school.¨(Tim Walker neatoday) A lot of people are cheating in high school there should be a harsher punishment for cheating. Maybe instead of getting a 0 for that one assignment/test, maybe the teacher should on two things in the class so cheating would affect your grade
There you some bad things to having a harsher punishment for cheating, like if the person doesn´t have a good grade in that class. ¨when in fact studies show that high-achieving students cheat almost as much as other students.¨ (Tim Walker neatoday) Not just people that are struggling in a class cheating, but people that are doing good in a class are cheating.
I think that we should have harsher punishments. Maybe not something were are failing a the class but maybe just put in a 0 for another assignment/test. The people might to not cheat because it can affect your grade. If people are struggling than they should try to get help from other people or the teacher.
I disagree because I think that people would cheat to keep a 4.0 GPA. if someone through their high school career has had perfect A's but they forget to study for one test is they really any harm done. they have proven that they can and intend to put in the time to study but got distracted one time. it could also show how resourceful that person is. If school is really preparing students for the real world their are plenty of people who use extra people on higher stakes situations.
