What is the cardinal sin of students in every grade all across the world. Cheating. Or at least that is what the teachers would like the students to think. Unfortunately many students do not feel the same way about being honest on their school work. Teachers are constantly trying to prevent students from copying other or stealing tests in higher grades. Granted not all students are that way but it never surprises me to hear a story of a student cheating on an assignment ot test.
How is a teacher to prevent this kind of activity in his or her classroom? Teach the students the value of Academic honesty. Show them why it is important. If the students can figure that out they will hold themselves to a higher standard and police themselves better than any teacher ever could. The trick is to get the students to realize the importance of academic honesty for themselves.
