Blecker states in her essay, that today’s community colleges need to proactively encourage the habit of the honest student. First, studies report a huge problem with students cheating and it is spreading fast. Professors and administrators participated in two objective studies that show that students cheat now more than ever before. The integrity of the student and the academic process are threatened by this conduct and it can become of a way of life for students. Next, honest students are angry and demoralized by the actions of their fellow students. Religion, karma, other believes, and moral compass keeps the honest student to work hard and study. Pride lessens anytime a truthful student shares an answer or even downloads a test from schoolsucks.com.
