Yes, you should definitely report someone cheating. Not only is it fair to the other students, it is
also not fair to the student who is cheating. As they always say, "cheaters never win and winners
never cheat." If you do not bother studying, then you should not bother cheating. Just live up to
the fact that you failed to prepare for the test and you will now fail the test. Even if the cheater
does not get caught cheating, the truth will eventually come out and the cheater will get caught. It
is not right to cheat. The bottom line is, “DON’T DO IT.” |

Absolutely. Not only is it the right thing to do, but from a pragmatic standpoint where graded on a
curve, not reporting it harms your own personal grades by loading people who didn't earn their
grades at the top of the curve. |

I can see no argument in favor of not reporting cheating.
Cheating defeats us all by dragging down and falsifying learning. To cheat is to take the easy way
out -- the instant gratification and obtaining o false credentials that are so prevalent in society
now. Let someone else do the work, but you get the credit. Do these cheaters also buy those fake
masters and doctorates on the Web?
It’s easier now than ever to cheat, with required, after-school online tests. In a local middle
school near me, an enterprising kid was signing on using others’ passwords to take online tests,
then charging the kids.
The only argument I can see for not reporting cheating is fear of reprisals. If a kid is
experiencing that kind of peer pressure, authorities need to know. Schools have ways for “secret
witnesses” to report classmates’ cheating. It’s the right thing to do. |

Guyman442;
As it so happens, I can relate to this debate, and play Devil's Advocate, honestly, all in one.
So I post on this disagree side.
My reason why is:
When I was in junior high school, it was a private school, and it was in math class.....as you all
know who read my debates and my debate responses might have seen, I SUCK at math because I have a
learning disorder: Not a lack of intelligence-disorder, just a learning disability, called:
"Dyslexia".
We, none of us, no one, knew I had Dyslexia then.
Anyway, as I was saying, in junior high school, I could not keep up in math class, and I was having
a hard time in math class: I would stare at the math questions, and the more I looked at the
equations, the more I "glazed over like a donut"...;-(
Clearly, I "didn't get it"......
I would remember drawing pictures, really good ones!! ;-)
all over my math papers....when I was supposed to be doing subtracting fractions.....that junk made
no sense to me at all!!!:-(
So....I fell behind.....I begun cheating on the math because I was told catch up or else, so...I was
forced to cheat.
I got caught by a woman teacher who hated me for some reason I never understood why, she just never
liked me from the first day of school that she laid eyes on me, she always gave me a hard time,
ignored me when my hand was up for help, but when I did something like having to cheat because I
couldn't understand math, she went to the Principal and had it all set up they were going to beat me
with a wooden paddle on my ass in the Principal's office.
The principal called my parent, said they were going to induce disciplinary action upon me to my
backside as a punishment for being caught cheating on my math - that I was, quote/unquote, "Lazy;
not living up to my potential= obvious, because I had a plethora of awards in Science and History,
and excelled in all areas except the math I was a Lazy-Behind, and was not going to get away with
it".
My parent went to the school and said, "no you are not going to whip her: She is bad at math because
she gets it, whatever it is that causes her to be bad at math, she gets if from me, I am even
farther back in general math than she is! And I have three other of my kids in this school: All of
them are Star Academics here, and you know it!"
So, I wasn't whipped.
But, a different one of the principals was taken my case then, he talked to me a long time different
kinds of questions, and he actually liked me! HE was very kind. I really liked that man, he was good
to me, not like everybody else. I wowuld have done anything to please htiis man!
He said I was an exceptionally good kid, and very quiet, a model child, and very artistic, and very
intelliegnt - from my other scores and tests in the school.
He said I would never be threated to be beat again, and that I could try to do some lesser type
math, see if I could try, and if I couldnt do it, then I could take as much as 2 weeks to finish a
book, and if i ever got so bad stuck I never had to cheat becuase it would be okay and he would
know.
He was the nicest man ever. The fairest person and understanding.
He said I drew very good art all over my math, and that too bad they did not have an Art program for
me.
I just ignored the math from then on becuase it was impossible to understand or do: Subtracting
fractions is deadly;-(
So, I just went on and got a ton more awards in Science and History....and excelled in all sports
and music.
When I went to go into college, for a four year degree, later on.....they sent me to a specialst in
the college for tests, said something was wrong with me, Laura from the G.E.D. Center, and also Bob,
because my Science scores was the highest they ever had in 15 years in there: I was only a little
bit behind one boy that Bob said was a Registered Genius.
The tests showed Dyslexia.
I was told i would not be allowed to enroll in college, becuase ALL 4 year programs everywhere
requires at least Algebra level even an Arts degree.
They wouldn't take me.
So, I disagree with this debate, on those grounds.
These above described, are my valid reasons why.
Thank you,
Scorpion. |
