"In Studies Find More Students Cheating With High Achievers No Exception" Richard Perez-Pena tells how students in various schools are cheating and some are the smartest kids that go to the top schools in the country.

The article tells what makes access to cheating easier.The Internet makes cheating easier because college students has access to the Internet and can easy to copy and paste other people's work. Cell Phones also make cheating easier because it's allowed in school.

I think sometimes it's called helping out instead of cheating. When someone missed a couple questions on homework or classwork and another student gives them the answer it's not called cheating. It's not called cheating because you did the other 95% of your homework so you tried to complete it.

What makes some of smartest kids in the united states cheat? Why are teacher's so quick to call someone a cheater or think we as students didn't complete our homework? I was told by one of my teacher's it should of been done at home and as a teacher he takes his job seriously. This article reminds me of Mr.Petro, he wants the class to understand the work that's giving to us and not copy and not get what where copying.

  1. Good post. Summary could be a little broader, as the cheating goes beyond just copying. 90
