I think there is no one can say he did never cheat other people in this whole life. Sometime some cheating are white lies, but sometimes they are not. If you ask a student who are used to cheating in class, his answer maybe is “I want to get a good score” or “I don’t know the answer of this problem”.
If one day my son’s teacher tells me my son was cheating in class and it wasn’t a one-time problem. I will not get angry at him and I will ask him why you are used to cheating in class? I think I need to hear the real reason from my son and tell him these reasons aren’t worth to let you to cheat. The examination is only a mean to check if you have already get the knowledge or not and if you don’t have good score in one examination it doesn’t mean you are bad. Maybe next time you should study hard and review your work before the test. The score is not important, but the honest is.
