I have read countless articles similar to this one. Appointing to the problem of cheating. But I don’t believe that students understand how serious this is. If one is caught cheating they will face severe consequences. I don’t think the association of cheating and taboo has been stressed quite enough to students. As kids, most of my teachers have not enforced strict punishments to those who have been caught cheating. I think the teachers and students are at fault here. Once a student is caught cheating it is the job of the teacher, the more mature one to know whats right and wrong and to teach them that it is wrong to cheat. By enforcing a strict punishment it will teach the students to never ever do it again. However this doesn’t happen which leads students into believing its alright to cheat. But its not all the teachers fault. If students would just work harder to achieve their goals. Then this wouldn’t even be a problem.
