Because many of our leaders have cheated and to this day lie, and have set the example.
Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, the Democrat Party.
In our area, there are a lot of people, some from other cultures, where it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. They don’t get it that if you don’t actually know the knowledge, you will not be able to do the job. Your building will fall down, your surgery will be malpractice, or your software will crash. They think if you have the grade or pass the qualifying exam, that’s the important thing, in order to make the contacts and score the $$ career.
I remember back in college taking a Humanities class that I never atteneded. At the end of the class I could either take the final, or write a paper. I chose the paper and did some sort of bullshit along the lines of “A Existential View of Death,” or some such nonsense. I threw in logic symbols and equations and lifted heavily from Sarte...But... I made certain to put quotes around all those sections and footnote it...If you lift the whole book but quote it and footnote it...you are all good, evidently. Oh...and I got an A in the class that I never attended. Ha!
When there is seldom any real consequence for cheating, you get more of it. For many, ‘Virtue’ remains dominant when the opportunity for ‘Vice’ is minimized.
When one looks around and sees the so called ‘leaders’ lying and cheating and apparently getting away with it, the general consensus turns to ‘who really cares what someone in ‘my’ -bottom of the barrel- status does.
Why has cheating become a problem? Because millennial parents taught them to cheat. You need look no further than the pay for admissions scandal of Hollywood parents, but if you'd like to go deeper, think back to the Colorado Springs Easter Egg hunt ruined in 2011 by helicopter parents who jumped in to ensure that their little darlings got an egg. This sums it up nicely.
Lenny Watkins took his friend's son to the hunt in 2009 and said he can understand why a parent would step in.Small wonder cheating is so rampant with parenting like that."You better believe I'm going to help my kid get one of those eggs," he said. "I promised my kid an Easter egg hunt, and I'd want to give him an even edge."
You want to be able to trust the students but you know you can't. As my colleagues tells the students: "You can cheat your way to a job, but the problem is that if you don't learn the material, you won't keep that job."
Because DemoRat Communists, Marxists, Fascists and Socialists are in complete control of American Education and Educators, and DemoRats ALWAYS cheat.
A few years ago I read the line from a current student:
“I just cannot understand how a student can allow himself to fail when all you have to do is cheat.”
Because it costs too much to get an education and, quite often, you only have one chance to advance.
If we went back to apprenticeships and you could try to pass the tests repeatedly until you qualify, cheating would probably be reduced.
Cheater.
Not if you go into the "public" sector. In that case when they find out you are clueless they just hire more or promote you out of the picture but you keep the job and income, retirement and all the perks.
At my college you’d have been kicked out long before the final and not had your tuition refunded either. That’s why some college degrees mean more than others.
Bill
Clinton
Because progressivism is so weak that anything run by the progressive agenda, as is our education system, must by necessity cheat and lie as often as possible.
If progressivism had any value, it would offer the freedom to be honest.
Cheating is always wrong, but doing so in basket weaving 101 is less of a problem than in, say, Engineering or Medical school.
