We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses, if we fool ourselves into believing we39。t see the real choice we39。d rather hide your actions, that39。re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself. Evaluating Risks To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself.

Even if there is no curve, cheating poisons the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. (If I don39。t pete with those who do) Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of goof teaching is seeing students learn. But a cheater says. I39。re trying to teach, all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others.
