The honor system is only successful if a tradition of truthful students is continuous at a school (C). However, if a school is filled with some dishonest students who cheat, the following students coming into the school will be more likely to be cheaters just like their predecessors. The cheating to honest student ratio seems to be a somewhat uneven at Reicher, with there being more academic dishonesty than honesty in the classrooms. Students who expect a loosely upheld honor code may ignore it. That creates a large number of students ignoring the code, henceforth making it ineffective in the long run (C). If the students at Reicher enforced and maintained their own honor code, the ratio of honest to dishonest students would curve the other
