Cheating Question 1

In Taiwan's education, we have big exams to attend the schools. Under this policy, the teachers of junior and senior school always give us many tests. I remembered how many tests we had in our schools days. We had at least two tests a day. Within a day, we had 12 tests which are the highest rate, but we just had eight classes a day. These days it was hard to survive because we would have the punishment if we got poor grades. We had one night to study, and obviously time was not enough for preparation. The schools, the cream schools, the teachers, the parents and even the students themselves all emphasize the grades. Most of them all fouse on the grades not the effort.


In junior high, ten or eleven students - I am not sure, cheated in my class. The reason they gave was the same. They were afraid that they got the poor grades. If they got this, they would be punished by teachers of school and cream school and parents in particular. In snior high, the reason they gave to me was they didn't want to do make-up tests because they were tired doing this, and they thought it just wasted their time and no use for them. They considered that the conntents of textbooks were not useful in the future. At that time, I totally agreed, but now I change my mind because I realize that it trains our brain to think and memorize. In the college, I have seen some people who take the course twice especially literature course cheated. I saw the man who always wears a hat and elder than us in several classes last semester, and every time we had the tests, he always cheated. Although I don't know him, I really want to know why he wants to do that because he is not the first time.
