Every person during the period that they were in a school have probably cheated at least once. This is most likely because it's easier to cheat when you are younger, and there is less disciplinary actions that would be taken out.
When your a child it doesn't really matter if you cheat. The only lesson that you would get taught is that your not learning anything if your cheating. However, if i was to get caught cheating whilst doing my work at university, then i would be getting serious actions taking out. Most would be getting kicked off my course, or in some lighter cases my assignment would not be taken account for.
Therefore the question that I'm asking myself is...why is it acceptable to cheat as a child...but not when you are in higher education?
I have cheated in a test at primary school, it was the most easiest thing to do, and not only easy but it was on the most pointless thing that at the time mattered, and now looking back it's like...why did i need to cheat?
I think that it's not acceptable as when going into higher education you should know yourself why you are there. Which should be to learn. Therefore cheating in work will not help you learn. As when you start cheating continuously and then you go out in the real world by yourself the things that you haven't learnt during to your cheating might come up and then catch you out.
So it's okay when you are a child, because the younger that you are the more you will learn from your mistakes.
This website is very good, as it's explaining how and why children of certain ages cheat within schools.
