What exactly is cheating?

1. Someone copying from others work.
2. Marking answers correct when they are wrong.
3. Changing scores.
4. Not owning up to something.
Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose. For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing someone else’s idea for a science project work. Copying someone else’s words or work and saying they’re yours is a type of cheating .
How do people cheat?
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways, by sneaking answers to a test, but it’s also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn’t. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or contest.
It’s tempting to cheat because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test.
Why cheat?
This is what some children thought about why people cheated.

So that you don’t look ‘dumb’.
To get a higher grade.
So that you don’t get into trouble.
To get out of trouble.
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.
I guess that what these people were saying was that kids sometimes cheat because they haven’t done their work and they don’t want to get into trouble. Sometimes they cheat because they don’t feel good about themselves and what they can do. Sometimes it is because they want to keep up with their friends. 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. 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.
Truth and Consequences
Many kids feel tempted to cheat once in a while. Most resist and do the work instead. Some kids cheat once and feel so bad that they never do it again. Others get caught and decide it isn’t worth it. Unfortunately, some kids start cheating and feel like they can’t stop.
Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught. Whether they are caught or not, these kids may feel guilty, or embarrassed, or ashamed – or all three. Even if the cheater feels fine or doesn’t get caught, that doesn’t mean it’s OK. If you see someone cheating, or if someone asks to copy your work, you can tell a teacher or another grown-up.
If a kid gets caught cheating, the teacher may give the kid a "zero" score on the test, send him or her to the principal’s office, and contact his or her parents. Worse than the bad grade may be the feeling of having disappointed other people, like parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an honest person and a teacher might watch you more closely the next time you’re taking a test.
Cheaters cheat themselves in a way because they don’t make an honest attempt to learn as much as they can. For instance, if you cheat your way through spelling tests, you won’t learn how to spell. That can catch – up with you when you get older! And adults who cheat – at work, sports, or in their relationships – get into serious trouble, far more serious than a bad grade on a spelling test.
There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some kids have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s never too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a habit, but like other bad habits, a kid can always decide to act better and make better choices. It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or counselor. Choosing to play fair and be honest again can help a kid feel relieved and proud.
There’s an old saying that cheaters never win and winners never cheat. This may sound confusing because sometimes it seems like cheaters do win – at least for the moment. But kids who don’t cheat are true winners because, when they win, they do it fair and square.
Cheating in education has become increasingly pervasive at all levels, according to survey research. One major cause is increasing anxiety among students about their future job prospects and financial security in a winner-take-all society. Other causes include lax oversight by faculty and the ease of cheating via the Internet.
Technology is quickly becoming a cheater’s best friend, and educators are having a hard time keeping up.

Most common forms of cheating

1 Plagiarism
This is when someone copies someone else’s work and pretends it is their own. This doesn’t just mean copying from a friend but it can be copying straight from a book.
Sometimes it is hard to understand information you have found to help you with a project.
Copying a friend’s work is never a good idea because you won’t know what it is about and you won’t remember it either. Even if no one finds out that you’ve been cheating you will know. You’ll feel bad about it and you won’t know what to do next time you have to do that kind of work.

Advice:
"The only way to learn things is to try for you."

2 Changing marks or marking answers right when they are wrong.

This is never a good idea because:

The teacher will probably find out when your work is checked.
The teacher may not find out right away and will not realize
That you need extra help.
Other kids soon know if someone is cheating.
You’ll have problems later when you don’t know the work.

Cheating

Cheating is really bad
It usually makes people mad.
Like when copying a sum
so you don’t look dumb.
Or when the ball hits the ground
and you still scream and shout and jump around.
Or when you’re going to get caught
and you make excuses of every sort.
So what are saying? It’s real bad
to cheat, and it sure gets people mad!
