I tell my students to study or fail with dignity. I teach in a Catholic school, so I can also tell them that they may think that they pulled one over on me, but that their cheating is something that they will need to address with God. I am not going to be the "cheating" policy.
I do not necessarily think it is the emphasis placed on grades that is causing many children to cheat. I believe it is the emphasis on sports that is causing the problem. Students spend so much time on the athletic field practicing that they do not have time to properly prepare for their academic work. My students are afraid to miss a practice to come for extra help, because their coach will yell at them or bench them. Academics should be brought back to the number 1 position, and then maybe students will place more value on their education, and realize that sports is not everything.
Most effective way to prevent students from cheating?
