The Honest

Dishonesty

Cheating too
much makes
people look
bad. Done in
moderation.

People want to
succeed with
the least about
of work so they
find shortcuts

Cheating is
harmful to the
cheater. Does not
allow them to

Doing School:
How We Are
Creating a
Generation of
Stressed-Out,
Materialistic,
and
Miseducated
Students.

Prosecutors in
Atlanta claimed
that there was
widespread
cheating in
state testing in
schools in the
city.
Students cheat
on tests
multiple times.
One student
claimed that he
cheated over 5
to 10 times on
major tests.
75% of teens
own a cell
phone.
Compared to
45% 10 years
ago. More
technology is
in hands of
teens
Students =
Stressed.
School, home,
extracurricular,
personal
interests. All
mesh together

Cheating is a
problem
because
students dont
get the most of
their
experience in
schools.

Students
believe that
manipulation,
scheming, and
cheating are
ways to get
ahead

Because of
these standards
that teachers
must meet, they
look for
loopholes and
other ways to
raise scores.
Because
students have a
higher interest
in some
subjects, they
focus on those
and take
shortcuts in
other subjects.
75% own cell
phones and
74% of high
school students
admitted to
cheating on a
test

The law
requires that
schools must
meet a certain
standard.

Students feel
that teachers do
not teach them
anything and
take the path to
cheat. It falls
on teachers to
change the way
they teach.
Technology has
made it easier to
cheat and is a bad
addition to the
school
environment

Simply do
school. It is a
part of checklist.
Harmful way to
think of learning.
Not engaged

Schools are
cultivating this
environment
where people
feel the need to
be the best to
succeed

They are
ignored.

12. Miguel

Seeing others
cheat caused
students to
change their
own behavior.
Cheating
causes cheating
Fake excuses =
worse GPA

Students
understand that
cheating is bad.
But they still do
it. That is even
worse

Schools need to
make
witnessing
cheating
something to be
feared of

Distorted moral
code of students
is bad

Schools need to
be more
vigilant about
the excuses
they accept for
missed time
and work

Cell phones
have made it
much easier to
cheat. The
advent of
technology has
given students
another way to
cheat.
Cheating is an
effective
solution for
students in the
unfair system
because it gives
them a way to
have control
over their own
education.

All parts of the

school system
need to be
conscious to
change the way
the system
works.
Students do not
see cheating as a
problem. They
see it as a way
out.

The system is
responsible for
making
education
unfair for
children.
Causes them to
cheat.

Cheating
increases could
be due to
technology,
media

Cheating is
becoming an
issue both
inside and
outside of the
classroom.

Cheating was
tougher before
technology and
it has now
made it easier.

Falls on the
university to do
more to use the
resources that
are put in place
to stop
cheating.
