The type of atmosphere among the students in Eve’s class is both good and bad in different ways. In a good way, the competition between Eve’s classes pushes each other to work harder so that they can constantly become better to achieve their goal as number one in the classroom. Another good reason from the competition is the fact that students pay in class more overall in order to achieve the step of understanding what the lesson was about. The atmosphere of the competition is also bad because it can cause some students to cheat their way up the class because they are not able to take the pressure of losing in the completion. This makes them take risks of endangering their grade in order to achieve a higher grade.
As mentioned earlier, students cheat because they want to become the best student in the class. Students also cheat because they want to impress their parents and please them. Sometimes, parents make promises to buy them something if they receive a good grade. The students believe that they cannot achieve such grade on their own so they will cheat in order to get such a grade. This can also be called a lack in self confidence in students that are willing to cheat.
The consequences vary in different types of schools. It ranges from getting an F on the assignment or a test to dropping out of school and having a cheating report on your permanent record. I don’t think cheating is worth it because each point from an assignment or test is very important towards your grade and you are risking all of those points. The students that are caught cheating should just get an F on the assignment rather than an F for a year or dropping out of school. The cheating report should still remain on the permanent record.
