Cheating....

What moral obligation does a student have if he or she witnesses cheating? Write a PIE paragraph in response.

The right thing to do for a student who catches another student cheating is to inform the teacher. Students rarely snitch on other students for many reasons, and one of them being that they do not want to be labeled as a “tattle tale” or a “snitch”. Some of them just believe that they have no right to get involved in another student's business, so they just leave the situation alone. Some students may also be friends with these students who cheat, so they clearly do not want their friends to get in trouble. In my opinion, cheating is very common nowadays that students don’t even care when they see another student cheat. Most students have cheated at least once in their lives in some way, so to tattle tale and snitch would make them a hypocrite. Students may also feel the same pressure as other students, so they understand the other student’s situation.
