Dare to Play Fair

I got a button that says "dare to play fair academic integrity week" and I don't really know what that means but I think it means that students should be honest with their education.  I think that it is trying to students to do all their homework and complete their tests honestly without cheating or taking shortcuts.  This message goes out to a lot of people because a lot of students like to cheat on their tests to get a better grade for their class and that is being very dishonest to the teacher and it does not make you better.  Being dishonest in your education is the not the way that you should go.

Academic dishonesty is everywhere no matter if is in a high school or in a college people like to cheat all the time.  For homework students usually just go to google and type in their question from their homework assignment and get all the answers from different website which saves them load of time but it is still cheating.  The reason most people take shortcuts on their homework could be different reasons like they could bed to lazy to do it, they could not have any time, or they just want to complete their homework assignment as fast as they can.

Students also like to cheat especially on test because if they cheat on a test then that means that they do not have to spends hours studying for their test because they already have all of the answers for it.  They do it because if they do have all the answers then that means they will automatically get an A for the test which will eventually lead them to get an A in the class which will make them happy on the outside but deep inside they will know that they got the A by cheating and not by studying hard and putting effort into it.  Also when they cheat it puts a lot of stress on them as well because if they ever get caught cheating then they will get into so many problems with the school and I think it would be better to just get a C in the class than getting an A but get caught for cheating.

I think that academic dishonesty should never be an option for students especially at a college level because it is not worth risking your education for just a letter grade in one class.  Maybe you might be able to get away with it in high school but you really wont be able to getaway with in college.  So my message is that if you know you wont be able to get an A in the class then just go for an average grade instead of trying to cheat yourself up to an A because it is better to be average than a cheater
