For this reason, every cheating case willbe looked at differently by the school before apunishment is dished out. Unless the cheatingoffense is major, such as stealing exams andredistributing them to other students forprofit, a first-time offender will likely get asecond chance by a school or university.

RecommendationsI t's the job of parents and teachers to make surestudents know about the consequences for cheating inschool.Students should be taught at a young age that cheating

is morally wrong. They must know that if they arecaught cheating, they will be severely punished both atschool and at home.Some colleges make incoming freshmen sign an "honor

contract" in which the student promises to not cheat onany assignment or exam. This way, if the student iscaught cheating, he agrees that the university can punish

him however the school sees fit.
