Wheres the Honor in Honors Kids?(cheating habits of students)Contrary to popular belief, honors students cheat well(p) as much or more(prenominal) than students in symmetric classes do. Honors students ar assumed to be hardworking, responsible, and honest. Yet these above average students are ofttimes fetching part in the same dishonest conduct of the average students, performing the task better and getting away with it more than the regular students. Explaining why honors students are better at cheating is difficult because any cheating student follows the same unwritten mathematical operation to guide him to victory. The process is simple. First a cheater decides how he is going to cheat. He has round(prenominal) options including inscribing answers on various body parts (hand, thigh, etc.), creating pocket-sized notes, asking an before class for the answers, and plagiarizing. He can also place his hand upon his verbalism (next to his eyes) angled away from the teacher date turning his head meagrely in the opposite direction of the teacher and look at his dwells paper. The following tactics are risky and are dumb for the more adventurous kids. They are snatching the teachers answer let out, asking for assistance with a question while peeking at the answer key (at a teachers desk), hacking into a teachers information processing system for grade adjustments, and opening a textbook on the ground while taking a test. One of the most creative strategies Ive comprehend of is peeling the wrapping from a clear water bottle slay to write the answers on the blank side then taping the wrapping venture onto the bottle exposing the answers when one looks through the clear bottle. Of course some regular students have been known to try these conniving techniques, they have been master by the honors students. The second step in the cheating process is when a student realistically imagines himself using the technique he chose in the maiden step. This i s a planning stage that requires a student to pretend and put together his developing plan of cheating. The better the student can imagine himself cheating, the more likely he is to succeed. After all, practice makes perfect. For example, if a student cute to write answers on the inside of his band-aid, he needs to picture himself taking the test and slyly pulling off the band-aid when the teachers back is turned to reveal the answers. There is no wrong way to carry out this step, but many prefer to ask themselves questions to prepare themselves.
