Cheating
School systems today are so lenient in their rules, guidelines and consequences, thus causing cheating, copying or forgeries to be frequently used. Many students take the advantage of copying someone else’s work whenever they are given the chance. Other times, students will simply have someone else do their work and turn it in as their own, even worse pay someone else for the work, nor realizing the effects this behavior can create.
