Student Success Statement

“I won’t cheat”- Dale Murphy

Example: If your teacher decides to randomly give you a pop quiz, you should not cheat for the test, even if you didn't study for it. Instead you should be honest with your teacher about not studying, and ask her nicely if you can make it up at lunch or afterschool. If she says yes, then you can study for it, and retake it again to get an honest score.

Reflection:

Cheating can get you in serious trouble.By cheating in school and getting caught, it can lead to an automatic F or even worse a zero.In worst case scenario, it can lead to you being expelled. If you cheat to get a better grade, you're taking a big risk of getting a much worse grade that will bring your grade down. Cheating is unfair to you and your friends.You've probably heard an old saying that goes: "When you cheat, you're really cheating yourself." School can help make you a better person in many ways, and help you learn the things you need to live a fulfilling life. If you never really learn these things because you're cheating, then all you're going to learn is how to cheat! It's important to play fair in games and sports, and that goes for school, too. If you've ever had a friend who was so determined to win at all costs that she cheated at whatever game you played, you know how upsetting this can be. You're playing by the rules, and then someone does better than you by breaking the rules.That is very unfair behavior  to those all around you.When you cheat, it's unfair to the kids who actually studied and did the work.
