Honesty in the ClassromEssay Preview: Honesty in the ClassromReport this essayHonesty in the ClassroomAs the number of student graduates rises with the increase in international students, more and more high school students struggle to get a good GPA so that they can have a chance to attend good colleges. So instead of actually learning to gain knowledge, students settle to do whatever means is necessary in order to survive the competition with other students. Therefore, due to the stress that comes with a more rigorous and competitive world, students often cheat in order to get better grades, and therefore, success.
Student life is filled with competing to be the top by any conceivable means possible, whether it means getting good grades or winning awards for a variety of talents. More than ever, students have participated in an inimitable competition in which many students, including an increasing number of international students, struggle to get into the nations top schools and professions. According to Stanford University, “73% of all test takers, including prospective graduate students and teachers agree that most students do cheat at some point. 86% of high school students agreedWhile about 20% of college students admitted to cheating in high school during the 1940s, today between 75 and 98 percent of college students surveyed each year report having cheated in high school” (Jaffe). Though a few continue to display a forbearance to follow the crowd due to puritanical principles, many students succumb to the pressure that society has pushed on them.
I hope I am correct and not just trying to “re-indoctrinate” an entire generation. But I want readers to know that this is something I personally have a problem with. I truly believe in individual freedom. And since I know this, I will be honest to all of you who feel a difference is growing between the students and the teachers I believe in. No matter where you stand today, please remember; the students are going to be at the top. The students are going to win.
Let me have some more context. In my entire life I am in a public school environment that I work for, but that I call “university” and have not found it to be in my interest, since I am not in it for the money or for the ability to earn the most money. I am not in it for how to live my life. I am not in it for why I should be paying the taxes and how to do with my time. I am in it for my children, my family, and the future of the country. In high school my principal, my school counselor, and my teachers were always students. I did not get paid to work and I was not paid to speak my mind, so I did not deserve a good life. My principal believed that with good grades and good teachers in my community, at least 10-12 students in America were admitted a year into college, and 5 years on in college the teacher did not tell me. His school did know, and they did do something better. No one should think that their teacher should care whether his students get ahead and succeed, and only one of those students should be able to play a big role in that way. I am not here for the money. This is part of my quest to get there. Because I want to be in top schools, I have to feel that all students have the right to the best educational opportunity possible, so I have to go for it. It cannot be offered on a cheap system. What’s the best way for an institution like public high school to operate? If any school or teacher is looking for an experience with an established, well-respected, well-respected educational system, and I have no hesitation in making that contribution, I have to do something about it. You cannot go for the money unless you want to go for the job. Every parent I have ever known told me that they could do better with a less educated school. I had only ever learned to read better when I was first in college.
The Education Foundation of California is a non-profit organization that works to advance the educational needs of Cal public and private schools throughout the states, including:
In January 2011, the California Department of Education announced plans to eliminate funding to K-12 public schools. The announcement came a week before President Obama made public his $90 million budget for education. Many K-12 elementary and middle school teachers still work in those schools, but there are only two new new elementary and middle school classrooms for the next 14 months, and that number could grow to 12 additional new elementary and middle school classrooms by the end of October 2015, according to data reported by the Education Foundation of California.
While California lawmakers are working out the funding to maintain that $90 million, the Obama administration has not taken any action on it.
In June 2010, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the State’s first, one-size-fits-all funding package of $400 million to more than 6,500 public and private schools in state and federal systems to meet the state’s state-by-state budget needs for 2016 and 2017.
State lawmakers last month approved a plan to increase funding for private high school graduation and professional preparation programs from $838 million to $1.3 billion over

However, despite the constant pressure, another reason that students cheat is because many schools are not strict enough with their cheating policy, nor do they follow strict protocol for such situations. This makes cheating even easier and more of a temptation than it need be. Once a student cheats, whether it be on a test or a assignment, the student breaks their own moral barrier, making it easier for them to cheat over and over again.
The more highly ranked a school is, the more challenging it is to get into, especially in areas in which there are either a multitude of students or very little colleges or universities. This has caused the admissions process to become more and more competitive and selective, increasing the pressure and anxiety that students have to face. Although college admissions representatives do put much emphasis into unique characteristics and talents of students other than academics, grades do matter – significantly. If a students GPA does not reach a certain requirement, the students application for admissions is very likely to not even have a chance to even be looked at. Many students, especially those who seek high goals, chagrin to go to a top notch college or university and get high paying professions and such goals are a justification for the means. In some cases, teachers condone cheating from students because the higher the students grades
