Classmates are cheating
If you discover your classmates are cheating on an important exam, does that make it okay for you to cheat too? Then explain.

No, it doesn't because you should be a better example, because if you cheat you will be just as bad as them. So you need to also set a good example for the people around you! you should also tell the teacher that you have found evidence of the cheating! But then your teacher will suspect that you will be cheating by telling that you have seen other people cheating. But the only possible way that you can actually prove that your classmates have been cheating is if you have found a piece of paper beng passed around or, if you have heard them whispering during the test.

No! Its not ok to cheat on a test, exam, or any other worksheet you do! There is consequences if you get caught cheating. If it is a very important test or whatever you are doing, and you get caught cheating, then you could get held back or fail. If I get caught cheating then it is punish on me although i saw another kid cheating. I could tell you I saw him cheating but you wouldn't believe me because you didn't see them cheating so it would still make me look like the bad one!

I do not think it is okay for you to cheat, because if you make notes on your arms or hands, then your more than likely going to get caught if it is noticable. Plus, if your friend is cheating on a test then you should set an example. Plus if you fail then you know that your smarter than the person who failed, because you failed honestly instead of failing while lying, and you're not going to hardly going to get anyhting in the next grade. So no it is not okay for you to cheat when your friend cheats.

Of coarse not, its never o.k. to cheat weather its an important exam or not. Cheating is just wrong. Its a dishonest thing to do and I think its hurting the person more than they think. Its giving away the chance for them to get a good grade honestly, or get a bad grade, find out what they did wrong and fix it, and get a better grade next time.

No, it's not right to cheat, because someone else is cheating. To me if you cheat that must mean your not that smart. Also you don't even know that the person your cheating off has the right answers. You also got to remember that if the teacher finds out your cheating he or she will take up your test and probably give you a zero. So no I dont believe you should because others are.

No, it is not okay to cheat on a test just because your classmates are. For one, it will show that you are smarter than they are because you didn't have to cheat to get the answers. If you don't cheat on test, exams, or even daily work, then you'll get better at doing things because you'd know how to do it. Other people won't know how to do it because they cheated.

I don't think anybody should cheat. If you do cheat, there is a possibility that you would make a bad grade. If it is an important exam, it will be a bad thing that you fail. I don't think anybody should make a bad grade. It is not okay to cheat.

If I caught some of my classmates cheating, it doesn't make it alright to cheat to. It doesn't make it alright because it's never alright to cheat. The person they copied off of may not get all the answers right. If you study for the test , than there is no reason to cheat. That is why I think it is not alright to cheat.

Of corse its not ok to cheat. Your only cheating your self out of a good education. So why cheat when your not learning anything.

If I discover one of my classmates cheating on an important exam I don't think it gives me the right to cheat too. If you saw someone cheating what would you do: 1. tell the teacher, 2. cheat with them 3.or not do anything but congratulate them for making the A someonelse earned to answer email me at tiffzebam@yahoo.com. I also think that if you cheat off of someone who is a lot smarter than you than you are learning anything.

Nope, it doesn't make it okay to cheat with them! Those liars shouldnt be cheatin' either! When you cheat, your lying to your teacher. Your telling them, "I studied" when you really didn't study.It's your fault if you didnt study,your friends shouldnt HAVE to let you cheat off their paper.
