According to a recent poll, 61 percent of America high school students have admitted to cheating on exams at least once．It can be argued such a response may not mean much．After all, most students have been faced with the temptation to peek at a neighbor’s test paper．And students can be hard on themselves in judging such behavior．However, there are other indications that high school cheating may be on the rise．
More and more states are requiring students to pass competency(能力)tests in order to receive their high school diplomas(文凭)．And many educators fear that an increase in the use of state exams will lead to a corresponding(相应的)rise in cheating．A case in point is students in New York State who faced criminal misdemeanor charges for possessing and selling advance copies of state Regents examinations．
Cheating is now considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities．Several professors say they’ve dropped the traditional term paper requirement because many students buy prewritten term papers, and they can’t track down all the cheaters anymore．Colleges and universities across the nation have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating．For instance, the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland launched a campaign to stop one form of cheating．As 409 students filed out of their exam, they found all but one exit blocked．Proctors(监考人)asked each student to produce an ID card with an attached photo．Students who said they’d left theirs in the dorm or at home had a mug shot taken．The purpose of the campaign was to catch “ringers”, students who take tests for other students．
The majority of students at the University of Maryland applauded the campaign．The campus newspaper editorial said, “Like police arresting speeders, the intent is not to catch everyone but rather to catch enough to spread the word．”
Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat．Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating－a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway, ”and be tempted to “beat the system．”Distrust can be contagious(传染的)．But, so can trust!
