it can be help full many of my myloters i think . Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason" for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea. If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating. i have start this discussion because i want to know what other people thinks why kids cheat.? You comments please.

I believe that one good reason why kids cheat is because they lack self confidence. They not trust themselves that they can pass it. You are right by saying that it is laziness that lead them to cheating. I can say that it is the root of the unwanted behavior of kids in their studies.They cannot answer the questions on their exam because they not know what is the right answer. They not know what is the right answer because they did not study. And that is the sign of their laziness. I suggest that one good way to avoid such behavior is to made the kids realize that cheating is bad. If they cheat, it will definitely means that they are not learning anything. And because of that, they will not develop their intelligence and abilities. It is important for kids to realize that they have intelligence within them. I believe that all people are intelligent. If they do not do well in exam is that because they are not informed.It is a good way for kids to know their capacities and skills. On that way, they will develop self confidence.They will learn how to answer on their own. It will make them independent. I believe also that training them on proper studying will make them achievers in life.

Cheating is not ordinary for kids. A child may not experience cheating at all. But why did some kids' cheat? Cheating is a negative behavior and it is done by kids to seek attention. It is use also to escape unavoidable situation or sometimes to please somebody. A grade 4 pupil who cheat during exam was seen by his teacher. When asked? He cried because he must be number 1 in class to please his mother. Cheating may be avoided if parent set an example and provide family rules based on love. Remenber that parents are the most influencial person in a child's life. If you like books, try to read, Family Life Growth Series Book by Ellen G. White and The Bible Story book by Arthur Maxwell.

Hello! First of all, keep in mind that not all children cheat on tests. However, some of them do. And it is probably because that is the easiest way to getting a good grade. Their objective in the test is not to show how much they have learned, but yes to take a high grade. And, why others spend the afternoon before studying a lot, they can take a high grade just by cheating. All they have to make sure is that they don't get caught. However, some children do cheat because they don't know enough to pass the test. If they haven't payed attention to the classes, then how are they going to take a high grade? Cheating. The easiest way around, but not the right one. Respectfully, Munhozmib.
