問題詳情
Did you know that 7 out of 10 students have cheated at least one in the past year? Did you know that 50percent of those students have cheated more than twice? These shocking statistics are from a survey of 9,000U.S. high school students.Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging their students to cheat! Last year at a school in Detroit,teachers reportedly provided their students with answers to statewide standard tests. Students at the schooltold investigators that they were promised pizza and money if they cheated on the test as told. Similar chargesat several schools in San Diego county have prompted investigation. A student at a local high school says shesees students cheating on almost every test, and the teachers don’t do anything about it.The kids claim that they’re tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and intense competition to get topgrades. Many kids also say that their parents are setting a bad example by “fudging” on income taxes, lyingabout age to pay lower admission prices, or cheating their way out of a speeding ticket. They are sending amessage to their kids that it is okay to cheat and lie.Finding solutions to this problem is difficult. In our school’s math classes, each student has differentproblems on their test papers, so it is useless to look at someone else’s answers. Teachers could alsorandomly mix the problems throughout the page. Another solution is for adults to lower their expectations.Chances are that students believe cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps itis time for parents and teachers to seriously examine whether higher test results are important enough toencourage cheating.

The kids claim that they’re tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and intense competition to get top grades.Peer Pressure是個美國人常說的詞，經常用於工作同事之間或辦公室工作環境中＂人與人之間所產生的壓力＂，中文翻譯可以用同儕壓力或同輩壓力，因為 peer 這個英文單字本身是＂窺視、同儕、同輩＂的意思，pressure 就是＂壓力＂的意思舉幾個例子來說，例如＂我很害怕同儕壓力＂的英文可以翻譯為「I'm afraid of peer pressure.」、＂同儕壓力能使人們進步＂的英文可以翻譯為「Peer pressure can make people progress.」資料來源http://www.branbibi.com/blog/s.php?n=english-words&tid=Peer_Pressure_%E4%B8%AD%E6%96...

你知道嗎，在過去的一年中，有十分之七的學生至少欺騙了一個學生？你知道嗎，有50％的學生欺騙了兩次以上？這些令人震驚的統計數據來自對9000名美國高中學生的調查。令人難以置信的是，教師甚至可能鼓勵他們的學生作弊！據報導，去年在底特律的一所學校，教師向他們的學生提供了全州標準測試的答案。學校的學生告訴調查人員，如果他們按照所述的測試方式欺騙了他們，他們就會得到比薩餅和錢。聖地亞哥縣幾所學校的類似收費引發了調查。當地一所高中的一名學生表示，她發現學生幾乎在每次考試中都會作弊，而老師們對此毫無辦法。孩子們聲稱他們因為同伴壓力和激烈的競爭而被誘惑而獲得高分。許多孩子還說，他們的父母正在設置一個不好的例子，對所...
